(NJ.com) Two Barnes & Noble employees who worked at the company’s Monroe Township distribution center have died from complications related to the coronavirus, the company and others confirmed.
Last week, Barnes & Noble workers in Monroe Township protested and demanded the company close this facility for two weeks with full pay to fully sanitize the facility, allow workers to self-quarantine during this closure and implement additional protections upon reopening.
If Barnes & Noble cannot guarantee the safety of its facilities it’s time for elected officials to act.
