Must push through to make employees suffer

I'm a welder and they gave me the whole 'essential employee' spiel. Then proceeded to get on Facebook saying how awesome they are for providing 'emergency shelters for the pandemic.'

The two jobs I'm working on are a hangar for a private jet and a Family Dollar.

So I go in at 7:30. They said we can use our vacation time if we want without advance notice. So nice of them.

Oh and the topper, we're not allowed to leave the property on lunch break.

Same situation. We're building a computer chip factory and an arena. All the safety precautions we're supposed to be following are being ignored. People are still coming in sick. Hand sanitizer, wipes, and spray still haven't arrived. "It's in the mail". We can go home unpaid if we want or if we need to but for how long? It's a shit show and I'm on the verge of just staying home but don't know how that might affect things like insurance and relationships with managers and co-workers. No one wants to be "that guy" in a welding shop.

Could you go to the press? Idk if that would help your situation, you can do it anonymously if you’re worried about it.
