Our Nation's frontline workers must be commended for their tireless work during this pandemic. I am reminded of the 2,200 employees in my district who work at the Tyson Food plant in Wilkesboro. These men and women come to work every day to help put food on kitchen tables across the country. This week, a Wilkesboro salon restricted access to Tyson employees out of caution for COVID-19. While the salon owner's intentions may be good, there are safety measures that can be enacted to protect all patrons and employees. It is critical that we understand the challenges that these frontline workers are facing, and we must do everything we can to support them. Exclusionary actions are not the solution. We are in this fight together, and we must take care of one another. ____________________
