Grocery employees across the country are feeling stressed, overworked and are seeing co-workers get sick and in some cases dying as customers continue wiping out store shelves due to the pandemic.

The United Food and Commercial Workers union reported Monday more than 3,000 grocery employees have been directly affected by COVID-19, while the Washington Post reports at least 41 have died.

Chains confirming worker deaths due to the virus include Walmart and Trader Joe’s. Union President Marc Perrone announced that a digital and television advertising campaign is being launched to educate customers of the threats they pose to employee health.

”The coronavirus pandemic represents the greatest health and safety crisis that America’s grocery and food workers have ever faced,” Perrone said. “While tens of millions of Americans were told to work from home for their safety, grocery store and food workers have never had that option. More must be done to protect them and our food supply now.”
