Essential workers protest at Ralph’s supermarket in Hollywood

UFCW Local 770 called a protest at “Rock n Roll Ralph’s” supermarket on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, Calif. Nineteen workers have tested positive for Covid 19. The union called for drivers to stay in their cars and make noise as they drove by the socially-distanced picket line. The sound of horns from passers-by was deafening — expressing the great appreciation that people have for these essential workers. While cases of infection and deaths may be declining in much of California and other parts of the country, Los Angeles has not yet “flattened the curve.”
