ASA Engages in Concerted Advocacy, Education, Regarding Pandemic Issues

Covid-19, which the World Health Organization declared a pandemic in March, shuttered many staffing firms’ brick-and-mortar operations—it has presented the greatest legal and legislative challenge for the staffing industry since the Affordable Care Act.
