Friends of mine who work in construction on roadways are not able to work
from home and are appalled by the lack of concern for their health, not
only by their employers but the general public.  As I have mentioned
elsewhere, people acting like it's a "holiday" are making it worse for
folks who have to be out there by not remaining in place or observing
social distancing. One fellow told me he was getting a drink at a store and
had a young women come around a corner and sneeze directly into his chest
without covering her mouth, and not even a word of apology. He said this
kind sees people disregarding the health of others constantly, and that he
and he coworkers have no way to get away from it. And these folks don't
even have the luxury of a union...

"Oaklandsocialist has received the following letter from a grocery clerk in
far Northern California. We reprint it here along with a message from
Oaklandsocialist. I distributed it in my local Lucky’s. Workers there were
very concerned. They had not seen hide nor hair from their union reps –
Missing In Action as usual.

While a lot is being said about health care workers, nothing is said about
other workers who keep our society running – workers at water plants,
garbage collectors, electric utility workers. Imagine where we would be
without them! We urge readers to download the pdf version of this letter,
print up copies and distribute them when YOU go to the grocery store. If
you prefer a version without the mention of Oaklandsocialist, contact us
and we will provide you with one."
