Workers are calling out sick in droves

Don't say sorry, you're 100% correct. The article has the basic bias that labor supply is a right of business and anything that disrupts the supply of labor (at their collusion-rife wage depression) is the fault of the "lazy US worker".

Is there any mention of hazard pay, investing in more safety measures aside from a plexiglass screen, or anything else worker-focused?

No.

And this is NPR! NPR!!!!

There is no reliable scientific evidence that plexiglass screens actually increase worker safety. In some situations they might actually increase the risk of virus transmission by reducing airflow.

I don't think NPR has always been like this. I really started to notice it when Bernie looked like he might be a serious contender in the presidential race and NPR absolutely eviscerated him daily in favor of the various bobbleheads in suits that were also-rans with a tenth of his popularity.

Like someone below posted. Nice polite Republicans or republicans with a focus on diversity and inclusion.
