No one should be working at this warehouse if they already have cases of corona!!!!!! Think about your employees and families.......

Alot of us are primary caregivers for our elderly parents and it puts them at higher risk everytime we go to work and then home to care for them.

These people should not be forced to work shoulder to shoulder when the whole nation is under guidelines to stay 6 feet away. Think of all the hands that touch that appliance going down the assembly line. Needs to be shut down. They're not ESSENTIAL!

I truly believe our best chance of getting through this is together, with everyone (including huge corporations) making sacrifices. Convenience and profit cannot be prioritized over human life.

My niece works at this location and is high risk due to respiratory issues. Her mother and step father, who reside with her are also at risk from this pandemic. Please shut down the nonessential factories

I think assembling appliances is not essential to sustaining life. I think GE appliance park in Louisville Kentucky needs to shut down during the Covid-19 pandemic. The employees who work there need to get Hazzard pay for having to work during this time. GE Appliance park needs to stop finding loop holes to keep production going. They need to do more to keep employees safe and alive.

While I understand that the ability to manufacture is critical. What they are making is not. There is just no need for their $4000 refrigerators during this time of crisis. They will ultimately pad their inventory and then lay everyone off later. If their product is essential then they should get hazard pay. But they won't go for that. So what they are doing is not essential.

Dishwashers and refrigerators are not essential, and GE’s shoddy half-assed plan to protect employees is a joke. Shut them down!

Please think not only of the virus threat but the mental health of the terrified workers. I can't even watch you speak on this because everything you say is opposite of what GEA is experiencing. So many sad and anxiety ridden employees. Save your speeches and video's on how to talk to our children because we can't make since of this. If I tell my child to wash dishes the old fashion way you just gave them the argument to say no Governor Bashear said dishwashers are essential smh shame on you for putting wealth over health

Manufacturing of household appliances at this time is not essential. Perhaps making "Product Service" parts might be. Volunteers only!!!! Too many of us in the factory to be safely distant from eachother!!!! And the constant air circulation makes it ludicrous to try. Too many do not practice 6 foot minimum distance rule!!!! Not a good situation and dangerous when distancing to the rule of the day! Please do the right thing and amend the statute of what is truly essential

Our warehouse is full of refrigerators. Everyone is supposed to be at home and not out shopping for refrigerators they can't afford right now
