Please Wear Your Mask
To protect the anonymity of our guest we have refrained from using his name or identifying his place of employment. Our guest joins us to share what it’s like working at a local grocery store in the midst of a global pandemic. His work environment has changed in recent months in that there are more regular cleanings, hand sanitizer is provided to all shoppers, and they’ve installed signs that say masks are required in the store. However while most comply with these new rules, some do not and he shares openly the struggle he has faced in trying to uphold these new regulations.
Speaking of Dignity is a podcast dedicated to listening to the voices of those workers whose labor we recognize as essential but who rarely get an opportunity to share their experiences, expertise, and insights. Our aim is to move toward recognition of the most vulnerable in the working world and expand our imagination of the common good.
