“Your best bet is to talk with your coworkers, raise your concerns with your employer, and ask for better conditions. In other words, organize. Many workers have the legal right to do this — and even if you’re not protected by law, organizers say there’s a case to be made that this moment, when workers across the country have risen up to call for safer pandemic working conditions, is a form of protection in and of itself.”

While there are safety guidelines that businesses are required to follow, enforcement of these guidelines is not always reliable. Your best bet is to talk with your coworkers, raise your concerns to your employer, and ask for better conditions.
