hey there- sorry to hijack this post, but i don't see an email address anywhere to contact you. it seems like you have a connection with the state of Maine, so i just wanted to link this story in today's portland press herald about employees walking out of the portland pie company portland location to protest management's treatment of the workers generally and management's approach to COVID protocols at the resturant. i was thinking it would be a story you could pursue (now that i'm typing this out, i suppose you have sort of covered this already, but it plays into the ongoing narrative of the working class struggle during the pandemic) and because you seem to be linked into the state, maybe there is a way you could actually talk directly with some of the employees and get some more details than the pph was able to (honestly i'm not really a big fan of the newspaper so i bet there's more there that could be teased out). i hope this doesn't come off as backseat driving, i just thought of your newsletter here when i saw this story this morning.
unfortunately, they have the strongest paywall that i have come across. if you refresh and cancel the refresh enough times, you'll eventually be able to get around the paywall.
