In leaked memo, Michaels executives refuse to close stores and tell employees they must be 'here for the makers' amid the coronavirus
According to a spokesperson, Michaels has temporarily closed stores in the states of California, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, as well as select locations in Canada and in the cities of Miami and Fort Worth. Each of these locations has issued strict mandates regarding the closure of nonessential businesses or implemented safety precautions like "shelter-in-place" mandates.
In response to request to comment on the decision to remain open, the Michaels spokesperson reiterated the company's partnership with UPS and said the stores will continue to make an effort "to support and remain a lifeline for the teachers, parents and small businesses." "I am asked on a daily basis by customers why we are still open," she told Business Insider in an email. "We ask ourselves the same thing. We clearly aren't important to our CEO. He is putting his hardworking employees and customers are risk. "
The products we sell, the services we provide and the businesses we support make us an essential workforce and are fundamental in our decision to remain open.
