According to Keith Sullivan, the president of the Fish, Food & Allied Workers union, plant workers and fish harvesters have many questions about how they are supposed to keep themselves and their families safe.

"The vast majority of the input and the feedback and everything we're hearing from members is that right now, with all of the advice that we have, they certainly don't feel safe," Sullivan told CBC Radio's The Broadcast.
