A group of democratic senators on Tuesday released a letter they sent to 16 retailers urging them to end practices they say disregard federal safety regulations and the employment rights of truckers, according to a press release.
The group is led by senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and also includes Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Kamala Harris (D-CA). The letter is the latest salvo in Brown’s effort to “increase the value of work.” In March, he also released a report that called out “the port trucking industry as a case study in how companies mistreat workers to pad their profits,” the lawmakers said.
