On Sunday, the COVID-19 pandemic claimed the life of 27-year-old Leilani Jordan, an employee of the Giant Food Stores supermarket chain from Largo, Maryland. Jordan had worked for Giant for six years. She was hired as a part of the grocery chain’s disability program. “She just loved her little job,” said a tearful Zenobia Shepherd, Jordan’s mother, to a local CBS affiliate. “She said nobody was showing up to work. She said, ‘Mommy, I’m going to go to work. I’m going to still go to work. I want to help.’”
Grocery store workers around the country have rightly joined the chorus of working-class voices demanding proper protective gear and sanitation equipment while on the job.
