Marc Perrone, president of America’s largest food and retail union, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which represents 1.3 million workers, said the companies' actions are"not nearly enough to turn the tide as COVID-19."
"Across the country, every governor and mayor must step up and make masks mandatory at all supermarkets and retail stores," Perrone said in a statement."Without universal mask mandates that are fully enforced nationwide, hundreds of thousands of Americans will continue to get sick and die. We cannot wait any longer."
