The Detroit Three autoworkers will make mask wearing optional regardless of vaccination status if the facilities where they work are not in counties at high risk for COVID-19, the United Auto Workers and the automakers said late Thursday.
The COVID-19 Joint Task Force, consisting of the UAW, Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Stellantis NV, have adopted Centers for Disease Control and Prevention new guidance and created the masks-optional policy for employees at U.S. facilities.
Each automaker is expected to communicate when the changes go into effect at specific locations.
