Calls for a Trader Joe’s Boycott Grows After Alleged Firing of Employee Raising COVID-19 Concerns | Eater NY

"At the store on 670 Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side, I learned that Bonnema said he sent a letter citing guidance from 13 scientists and recommended steps such as installing heftier air filtration systems and adopting a three-strike policy for customers who refuse to wear masks properly; he then posted his termination notice on Twitter after Trader Joe’s allegedly fired him on February 26. Gothamist reported the location has faced prior scrutiny for unsafe working conditions, including an alleged incident where an employee was nearly fired for insisting on wearing a mask before an official mandate, which helped fuel the current groundswell of online support and calls for investigation." - Erika Adams
