They're sticking labels on sealed jars and putting them in a box, what benefit would gloves and masks bring?

On the gloves end, less wear and tear on the skin (callouses), and better grip.

Have you ever tried to handle a label with rubber gloves on? It is damn near impossible.

You need to hold the jar with one hand. Wear a glove on that hand, pick the label off with the other.

It would be more efficient to have separate labellers and box fillers, but that's more RSI.
