New York attorney general sues Amazon over Covid-19 shortfalls

February 18, 2021/in Business /by The Healthcare Standard

New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Amazon.com Inc on Tuesday over its handling of worker safety issues around the Covid-19 pandemic at two warehouses, just days after the retailer filed its own lawsuit seeking to block her case.

In a complaint filed in a New York state court in Manhattan, James said Amazon’s drive for faster growth and higher profits led to its “flagrant disregard” of steps needed to protect workers from the coronavirus at a Staten Island fulfillment center and a Queens distribution center, both in New York City.

James also accused Amazon of illegally retaliating when employees began to complain, including last March when it fired activist Christian Smalls purportedly for violating a paid quarantine when he led a protest over conditions at the Staten Island warehouse.

February 3, 2021/in Business /by The Healthcare Standard

FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) – On Monday night bars and restaurant owners say they were happy to allow customers back for indoor dining. But the new health restrictions from the state could impact their business.

Rodney Ott, the owner of The Loft in downtown Flint, said even though the new restrictions changes the way he runs his nightclub, he will do whatever it takes in order to bring back some sort of normalcy to the Flint community.

“It’s just time to open back you know, with restrictions and also you just have to be like COVID conscious you know what I mean? We use hand sanitizer at the door, we’re wiping down the tables, we have a sign in check-in list and it’s just, I mean, time to reopen. It’s just time to reopen with caution,” said Ott.

Business, Health Groups At Odds Over New Republican COVID-19 Bill

January 20, 2021/in Business /by The Healthcare Standard

Business and health groups were largely at odds Tuesday as the state Assembly’s health committee heard public testimony about a brand-new, GOP-backed proposal to respond to COVID-19 in Wisconsin.

Republicans are lauding the wide-ranging bill, which includes more than 44 provisions, as a long-awaited response to the virus’ social and economic effects across the state, while Democrats point out it includes numerous provisions Gov. Tony Evers has called “poison pills.” Those provisions include stricter requirements on schools that want to provide virtual instruction and limits on local health officials’ power. The bill would also provide legal immunity for businesses that don’t follow local, state or federal requirements aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus.

During testimony, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, who is sponsoring the plan, said it would provide “much-needed relief to the citizens of our state.”

January 14, 2021/in Business /by The Healthcare Standard

Are the employees at your neighborhood restaurant wearing masks? Is your grocery store vigilant about keeping customers 6 feet apart?

Now you can pass along feedback — both positive and negative — via Yelp to clue in prospective customers, just as you might offer commentary on the helpfulness of the store’s staff or the quality of the takeout meal you ordered.

In a blog post Tuesday, the San Francisco-based review website announced that it will start displaying crowdsourced feedback on whether customers “observed, or did not observe, the enforcement of social distancing and staff wearing masks.”

It’s part of an effort to instill consumer confidence, so Yelp is requiring plenty of others to agree on your assessment.

Biden’s First Order of Business May Be to Undo Trump’s Policies, but It Won’t Be Easy

January 8, 2021/in Business /by The Healthcare Standard

The party split in Congress is so slim that, even with Democrats technically in the majority, passing major health care legislation will be extremely difficult. So speculation about President-elect Joe Biden’s health agenda has focused on the things he can accomplish using executive authority. Although there is a long list of things he could do, even longer is the list of things he is being urged to undo — actions taken by President Donald Trump.

While Trump was not able to make good on his highest-profile health-related promises from his 2016 campaign — including repealing the Affordable Care Act and broadly lowering prescription drug prices — his administration did make substantial changes to the nation’s health care system using executive branch authority. And many of those changes are anathema to Democrats, particularly those aimed at hobbling the ACA.

January 5, 2021/in Business /by The Healthcare Standard

Airports and FBOs are reimagining every aspect and touchpoint of their operations to ensure a clean, safe and healthy environment for their clients. But many are grappling with the dilemma of if it is possible to make these changes without spoiling the luxurious atmosphere FBOs and private airports are renowned for.

Almost a year on from when the devasting pandemic began to spread across the globe, sectors everywhere have had to adapt and use new technologies to ensure they can return to a new normal as quickly as possible.

Although business aviation was not immune to the impact of the pandemic, many FBOs have been operating in some way during this period. Staff have been practicing social distancing, wearing masks and following health guidance from their respective governments, hand sanitizers can be found on every flat surface and deep cleaning of all areas has increased. However, there is an argument that this still isn’t enough the slow down the virus.

As Small Businesses Await New US Aid, It’s Too Late For Some

December 23, 2020/in Business /by The Healthcare Standard

NEW YORK (AP) — Clay Reynolds is starting to make peace with a gut-wrenching reality: He may have to once again close his business, Arrichion Hot Yoga and Circuit Training.

The $900 billion pandemic relief package that Congress has just approved contains billions in aid directed specifically at struggling small companies like Reynolds’. Arrichion received a loan last spring from the government’s earlier economic aid program. But Reynolds, a co-owner, needs another. Business was down 75% in the third quarter. The fourth quarter will likely be worse.

Like other independent fitness studios and gyms, his has lost many longtime members who feared working out alongside others indoors or don’t want to wear a mask while exercising. And after being forced to close during the spring, Reynolds worries that the surge in virus cases will bring new government restrictions.
