Why is a 60-year-old getting $12/hour to risk her life?

“'They preach to us for years, ‘One mask, one room,’ and now you’re telling me, ‘One mask for eight hours?’ That doesn’t work for me,” said one longtime employee who still works there and did not want to be named for fear of retribution.

The employee is over 60 years old and added: 'I think about quitting every day.'

A TouchPoint spokesperson said in a written statement Wednesday: 'We adhere to the highest standards and protocols in infection prevention to keep our team members safe.'"
