[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4427240, member: 1"] [URL='https://whyy.org/articles/filthy-facilities-no-masks-philly-ups-workers-face-down-covid-delivery-surge/'][B]‘Filthy’ facilities, no masks: Philly UPS workers face down COVID delivery surge - WHYY[/B][/URL] The warehouse and delivery workers keeping the region stocked with medicine, clothes, toys and countless other packaged items say they’re reaching a breaking point — overloaded with delivery orders from online retailers, and working in unsanitary conditions. Kissma Thomas, a ramp agent at the UPS facility near the Philadelphia International Airport, described the last few weeks as “peak season, times three.” But she said workers like her were laboring in “filthy” warehouses, unloading trucks and containers with little protection from the contagion. “They’re not giving us masks, they’re not giving us gloves … Each delivery chute is no more than three inches away from the next person,” Thomas said. “UPS doesn’t care.” [/QUOTE]
