Dear labor board members, 

While I write in a time of pandemic, it is not a temporary need to protect the Virginia workforce. We have the chance to be a national model for supporting our front line workers. Please vote in favor of the Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation 16 VAC 25-220 by the Safety and Health Codes Board.  

Here in Harrisonburg, our latino population is only 9% of our population but bear up to 45% of the COVID cases. Much of that can b attributed to their over representation in the poultry factories who are not enforcing safe distancing practices. We need enforceable regulations now. 

Sincerely 

Cindy Hunter

Harrisonburg, VA
