1:52 – From the frontlines: a Whole Foods worker shares her story.
We’ve been keeping up with one of our listeners, she doesn’t want us to use her name, who works packing groceries for delivery at a Whole Foods in San Francisco. Last time we played you something from her, she was afraid to go in to work, because the job required standing close to other people while bagging up groceries. Since then, she says Whole Foods has made spreading out easier — they closed the hot foods part of the store and made a larger staging area for what she does. But in the end, she decided it was still too risky to keep going to work. She spoke with KPFA’s Lucy Kang (@ThisIsLucyKang).
