DENVER, Colo. -- A man quit his job after he says he was told he couldn't work from home amid the coronavirus outbreak. Now, the company is making changes.On Thursday, Charter Communications made changes to its policies to help employees during crisis. The company says it will now let employees they believe "can remain productive outside the office without endangering our obligation to provide critical services" work remotely. Charter says employees will receive an additional three weeks of paid time off to be used for "any COVID-19-related personal need."The company also said in a statement, it is working on "increased social distancing" plans in its call centers and operations facilities.Last week, Denver-based systems engineer Nick Wheeler resigned from Charter over the company not letting him work remotely. "The science of social distancing is real. We have the complete ability to our jobs from home,” he wrote in an email to hundreds of people at Charter. Wheeler says Charter wouldn't let employees work from home. He says much of his work was done on a laptop.“What I do is literally interfaced with systems that are in data centers in other states,” Wheeler said. Wheeler says he and co-workers recently raised concerns as the outbreak grew. Then, he sent the email last week. It went to 460 people at Charter, including his senior vice president. "Coming into the office now is pointlessly reckless it’s also socially irresponsible. Charter, like the rest of us, should do what’s necessary to stop the spread of coronavirus,” Wheeler wrote. “I included everybody because everybody was involved. It’s a pretty serious crisis,” he said. Wheeler says not long after that email, he was called to his boss' office. He was given the option of using his vacation time. "I could take my personal leave time and go home and stay home as long as I have leave time, if I was worried about my health,” Wheeler said. “I took my badge off and I offered it to my vice-president because I didn’t feel that was an appropriate response.”Charter agreed he’d resign.When asked about Wheeler's situation, Charter said it would not discuss internal police or specific employee situations. The company did provide this statement on Wednesday: 2254

David Koch, a billionaire businessman and philanthropist who gained fame as an influential donor to conservative and Republican causes, is dead at 79.Koch Industries sent out a statement early Friday morning confirming his death.David Koch's brother, Charles Koch, who is chairman and CEO for Koch Industries, said the following:"It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my brother David. Anyone who worked with David surely experienced his giant personality and passion for life. Twenty-seven years ago, David was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and given a grim prognosis of a few years to live. David liked to say that a combination of brilliant doctors, state-of-the-art medications and his own stubbornness kept the cancer at bay. We can all be grateful that it did, because he was able to touch so many more lives as a result."David Koch retired from the company and the Koch political operations in 2018, citing health reasons. The Koch brothers were best known -- and vilified by Democrats -- for their role in politics, and they used their vast wealth to build a sprawling array of think tanks, foundations and political groups to spread their small-government, free-market message. In some elections, the Koch network rivaled the spending and scope of the national Republican Party, and analysts view their activism as helping to have fueled the Tea Party movement.David Koch was most active in Americans for Prosperity, the grassroots arm of the Koch's sprawling network, which built a coalition of more than 3 million activists to push the agenda of the Kochs and the roughly 700 like-minded donors to help fund their public policy work.Their mission expanded to include large donations to colleges and universities as well as advocating for criminal justice reform. They also dedicated funds toward medical research and the arts.David Koch himself entered politics decades ago, waging an unsuccessful bid as the Libertarian Party's vice presidential nominee in 1980 with Ed Clark. They won just 1% of the vote.The Koch company is an industrial conglomerate that is one of the world's largest private companies, engaging in everything from oil refining to making consumer products such as Brawny paper towels. Forbes pegged David Koch's net worth at more than billion.Koch Industries has an estimated annual revenue of 0 billion and 120,000 employees. While primarily known as an oil company, it makes a wide variety of other products including Stainmaster carpet, Dixie paper cups and plates, Brawny paper towels and AngelSoft toilet paper, as well as fertilizer, asphalt and window glass.CNN Newsource contributed to this report. 2685

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos stood firm on her proposal to cut funds for the Special Olympics on Wednesday, arguing that the organization doesn't need federal backing because it can successfully raise private contributions."The Special Olympics is not a federal program. It's a private organization. I love its work, and I have personally supported its mission. Because of its important work, it is able to raise more than 0 million every year," DeVos said in a statement."There are dozens of worthy nonprofits that support students and adults with disabilities that don't get a dime of federal grant money. But given our current budget realities, the federal government cannot fund every worthy program, particularly ones that enjoy robust support from private donations," she added.DeVos, one of the wealthier members of Trump's Cabinet, donated some of her salary last year to the group.Her statement followed an outpouring of criticism over her proposal to cut 12 percent from the department's budget -- the third year in a row she has called for eliminating funding for Special Olympic events at schools.Lawmakers have rejected DeVos' previous proposals, appropriating 1191
