@ChuckGrassley@realDonaldTrump These plants don't shutdown for fun.
@TysonFoods
is shutdown because they can't social distance. This risks lives & says if you are poor you can die as long as those with resources can eat meat. To do this when a worker has died is unconscionable. https://t.co/IxbPvqwNY8
When you know that it's somebody who's just doing it to game the system and to get their order when they want it, it's really frustrating.'" https://t.co/XDiyRyGvc9 #COVIDー19#GroceryWorkers@UFCW21
It's so hard to be on the frontline and still be treated like be aren't vital members of society. "'It's very demoralizing," said Arambula, who lives in the Portland, Oregon, area and has worked full-time for Instacart since June 2017.
