In an effort to keep some essential workers healthy, California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order granting two weeks of supplemental paid sick leave to workers along the food supply chain. These are employees who grow, pick, pack, deliver, cook, serve, or sell food –including farmers, meat packers, grocery store workers and fast-food employees. He said we don’t want you going to work if you’re sick. And we want to let you know that if you’re sick it’s OK to acknowledge it … and to know you’re going to get a supplemental paycheck for a minimum of two weeks.
