Campaign website
Farley’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
ON THE ISSUES While employment-at-will and the free-market system are the ideal, that ideal has been totally upended by the federal PREP Act which creates broad immunity from liability for vaccine manufacturers and employers who impose COVID vaccine mandates on their workers. The PREP Act shifts all the risk of the COVID vaccine onto workers. If workers have lost their basic legal rights because of a federal statute, then we must protect them under state law. As Labor Commissioner, I’ll do just that. Workforce Development Right-to-Work Workplace Safety Biden's Heat Stress Regulation Elevator Accountability |
