In July 2019 Baldwin signed a letter to United States Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta that advocated that the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) make a full investigation into a complaint filed on May 20 by a group of Chicago-area employees of McDonald 's that detailed instances of workplace violence , such as customers throwing hot coffee and threatening employees with firearms . The senators argued that McDonald 's could and should " do more to protect its employees , but employers will not take seriously their obligations to provide a safe workplace if OSHA does not enforce workers rights to a hazard-free workplace . " In November 2013 Baldwin introduced a bill that would " bring greater government transparency , oversight and due process whenever authorities use information gathered for intelligence purposes to make domestic non-terrorism cases against Americans . " Baldwin described the mass shooting in Orlando , Florida , in June 2016 as a " hate crime " and said " The question now for America is are we going to come together and stand united against hate , gun violence and terrorism ? " Baldwin voted against building a fence on the U.S.-Mexico border in 2006 . In June 2013 she voted for S. 744 , the Border Security , Economic Opportunity , and Immigration Modernization Act , which would have enabled undocumented immigrants to acquire legal residency status and , later , citizenship . She voted against Kate 's Law in 2016
