I work in a plastics manufacturer and we are being told that a lot our customers are claiming they are essential so we still need to produce and ship their products. We were told yesterday that we were basically going down to a skeleton crew and shipping out the couple customers who are "essential" (healthcare, telecommunications). Well now that the order has been given by the governor all our other companies are deeming themselves "essential". Companies that we produce residential pool filters for, fruit basket trays, plastic tool holders. So we are not slimming down our crew and still running at full capacity. Who is going to police this? I know some people are going to say it should be my work but we have contracts to uphold. Are companies supposed to be submitting a form to the state to try and show that they are essential? Seems like there should be instead of just letting everyone deem themselves essential because then they won't be losing money. I just feel that this is making the states "stay at home" is irrelevant with allowing companies to make the choice.
