Promoting the Safe Use of Employee Breakrooms
NAMA is working to ensure vending machines, micro markets, office coffee, tea, water, and pantry service can continue to operate in employee breakrooms across the nation.
This week, NAMA sent a letter to Governors, suggesting language to use as they issue orders to re-open the economy.
Additionally, NAMA has created simple talking points for operators on how breakrooms are the best way to keep employees safe during this critical time.
