PUR-2020-00048 Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Attachment - Letter signed by 44 members of the Virginia House of Representatives and 14 members of the Virginia Senate S ID i) 8 IS June 5, 2020 ® 1 (!

State Corporation Commission, Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Requirements Case No. PUR-2020-00048 Dear Commissioner Christie: We greatly appreciate the State Corporation Commission’s continued efforts to protect Virginia consumers during the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID- 19”). Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.

  • Commonwealth of Virginia General Assembly RICHMOND
    Commonwealth of Virginia General Assembly RICHMOND June 10, 2020 John Potter President and Chief Executive Officer Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority 1 Aviation Circle Arlington, VA 22202 Via email to [email protected] Dear Mr. Potter and Members of the MWAA Board of Directors: We are writing today to ask that the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority (“MWAA”) adopt two measures – paid sick leave and recall by seniority - to minimize disruption and turnover among airline contractor employees, so that the post- pandemic return to more robust air travel will be quick, orderly and efficient. As you know, when adopting the Airport Workers Wage Policy in 2017 and updating it in 2019, the MWAA Board declined to mandate paid sick leave for contracted airport service workers. Furthermore, the Federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act, granted emergency sick days to many workers, but excluded employers with more than 500 employees, which means the vast majority of airport and airline service workers at DCA and IAD have no access to paid sick days. With localities prohibited from mandating these policies under Commonwealth law, MWAA needs to act now to protect travelers and to help these vulnerable workers. This is a public health issue. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration lists airport workers among the most vulnerable workers to a pandemic like COVID-19. We believe that it is crucial that workers not expose themselves, passengers, and other staff to the virus. The absence of paid leave requirements for airport workers means that these workers may face insurmountable economic pressure to come to work when they may pose a risk to themselves and others.
