Testimony from an Automotive Worker
“I'm an Army veteran. I knew the risks of being a soldier and accepted that I can die in the line of duty at a young age. And I was okay with that. However I don’t feel the same way about the automotive industry. Well there has been changes. We have to fill out a form everyday stating we aren't sick or been in contact with covid, as well as go through a temperature scanner and we have to wear a mask and glasses that the company provides. They tell us to stay 6 ft apart but no one does nor do they enforce it. When someone does come in sick they clean their station and 10 minutes later we start up again. If you show symptoms you are not allowed to come to work. Even if your test comes up negative you are forced to stay home. As a whole we are feeling like we are risking our lives for nothing but to make people richer from the sweat of our brow. And because of that a lot of people including myself have been suffering mentally and physically, we are overworked, people are still getting sick, dying and yet we continue to run. We don’t see ourselves as essential even though the company says we are. Our leaders here aren't communicative about covid cases. They don’t tell anyone, we find out from others that were at the scene. Covid is spreading here and nothing is being done to fix that." -

Testimony from a Grocery Store Worker

Some people wrap everything up multiple times, and some that don't care as much. If they don't wear masks we can't say anything" -
