New York (CNN Business) A Trader Joe's worker says he was fired after writing directly to the chain's CEO calling for stronger Covid-19 safety protocols in his store.
"We put our lives on the line everyday by showing up to work.
Please, show up for us by adopting these policies," Bonnema said in his letter.
Bonnema on Saturday posted the letter on Twitter and said he was fired for sending it to the CEO.
He also posted a termination letter he received from Trader Joe's.
Bonnema's account went viral on social media and prompted calls for a boycott of Trader Joe's.
Kenya Friend-Daniel, a spokesperson for Trader Joe's, said Monday in an email that there was "misinformation" online about Bonnema's termination. »
