re: Masks / Supermarkets → UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers)
a representative for the food workers union told CNBC that the coalition wants the president's mandate expanded to cover more of the nation's workers.
"(United Food and Commercial Workers) wants to strengthen the worker protections to ensure that as many workers are covered as possible, that frontline employees have a voice in how vaccine requirements are implemented, and that employees do not shoulder the cost of masks, testing, or other critical safeguards needed to keep workers and customers safe," the union said in a statement sent to the outlet.

Masks, both medical-grade and home-made, can be a powerful tool for protecting yourself and those around you during COVID-19, but the truth is masks only work if we ALL wear them. That's why the UFCW is calling on employers to provide masks to workers that comply with CDC guidelines and asking all customers to not shop without one.
