In a voicemail sent to 30K employees of Fred Meyer, a subsidiary of @Kroger, president Dennis Gibson says he's giving them a $25 grocery gift card to show "how much you mean to Fred Meyer."

Many @Kroger workers do not get paid sick leave

LISTEN:

@kroger An employee who received the voicemail told me they found it "insulting."

I'll have more on @Kroger in my newsletter, Popular Information.

In the voicemail, Meyer praises them for "showing up" during this "busy time." There is no mention of taking time to look out for their own health and safety.

1. It was deeply irresponsible for Congress to leave town for at least a month without taking any action to ensure that everyone can participate in the 2020 election.

Hoping things will work out is not a plan.

2. Vote-by-mail isn't perfect but Oregon has been doing it for 20 years without any significant problems.

There are 217 days before the 2020 general election.

So there is time to offer vote-by-mail nationwide.

But not a lot of time.

3. Trump and McConnell both appear to oppose vote-by-mail or pretty much any effort to make voting easier.

This is the traditional Republican strategy. The more obstacles to voting the better.

But it could backfire this time.

On its website, UPS claims it's taking a series of steps to protect the health of employees during the pandemic

But DOZENS of UPS workers say those things aren't happening.

@UPS 2. For example, UPS says its providing drivers with "sanitizing supplies."

A Virginia UPS driver says they have been provided with "nothing" and "bought myself hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes"

Another UPS driver in the western US says the same thing

3. UPS says there is "Enhanced cleaning in all our facilities, especially shared equipment."

"There is NO enhanced cleaning in my facility and they do not clean the shared equipment," a package handler in South Carolina says.
