This episode of Bread + Roses is devoted to the Coronavirus. 

We are joined by Lorraine Conroy, the Director of the Center for Healthy Work and professor and co-director of the Occupational Safety Program at UIC to discuss how COVID-19 has impacted workers in low-wages and precarious employment. Plus Margaret shares her expertise on respirators and gives recommendations about the current shortage in the medical field. 

We are joined by three workers this episode named Ben, Tryn, and Jessica because so many of us are affected. These are workers from across the nation working in various fields that have been impacted by the pandemic. They talk to us about their jobs in general and about how the virus has impacted their work, health, and happiness.

We are joined by Roberto Clack, the Associate Director of Warehouse Workers for Justice from Chicago, Illinois in our 'Ground up from the Round Up' segment to discuss the history of Amazon, the health and safety issues faced by warehouse workers, and how people are coming together and doing their best to change the system.

We have two workers named Tim and Lupita from Amazon warehouses, join in our 'So, what do you do?' segment to talk about their experiences at Amazon. And as always we end with our 'IH Hot Take' this time from Tom Vroman, CIH of the Ecology Environment from Seattle, Washington, who summarizes the current health and safety issues facing warehouse and fulfillment center workers.
