New York AG Opens Inquiry Into Charter Communications' Coronavirus Response After Hundreds Reportedly Catch Virus

New York Attorney General Letitia James opened an inquiry into Charter Communications after the telecom company continued to require some employees to report to corporate offices amid government calls for employers to allow remote work where possible. From a report: The inquiry will look into how Charter has managed its employees during the Covid-19 pandemic, a spokesperson from James' office said. More than 230 employees from Charter's Spectrum division have tested positive for the coronavirus since the pandemic first reached the U.S., a person with knowledge of the company told The New York Times. The company has about 95,000 total employees, according to public filings compiled by FactSet. The illnesses follow a March report from TechCrunch that said Charter had continued to require employees to report to offices and call centers around the country despite government guidelines to restrict gatherings of 10 or more people. At the time, employees at some of those locations had already tested positive for the virus, according to the report.
