The United Auto Workers and Detroit automakers are reinstating a nationwide mask mandate at all facilities in response to the rapidly spreading delta variant of the coronavirus.
General Motors, Ford Motor and Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler) said in a joint statement with the union that the move is in response to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) change in Covid guidance for masks for fully vaccinated people.
The new mask mandate will go into effect Wednesday for all plants, offices and warehouses, regardless of vaccination status. For the full CNBC story, click here.
