Employees at the Wisconsin company Uline have suffered “significantly higher rates” of COVID-19 infection and “have filed numerous complaints about workplace safety to federal authorities,” according to an investigative story by The Guardian.
An “internal document” obtained by the publication shows that “at least 14% of Uline’s corporate workforce has tested positive for COVID-19 since last April, compared to 8.7% of the population in Kenosha county, where the company’s corporate office is located.”
