Of Course Food Service Workers Among Harder Hit By COVID-19 | Eater
"As COVID-19 cases have risen, employees at the grocery chain staged a “sick out” protesting insufficient paid leave, saying the policy often forces workers to choose between taking sick leave or receiving a paycheck. The action highlights the vulnerability of grocery and food-service staff—especially in hard-hit Queens neighborhoods with high concentrations of essential workers—and reinforces why demands for stronger protections and paid sick time have become urgent amid growing infections and related labor actions." - Jaya Saxena
