Some activist groups have declared Saturday, June 6, 2020 as Global 5G Protest Day, resulting in associations and carriers as well as contractors warning the industry to be extra vigilant to ensure worker safety and protect the nation’s infrastructure. One key contractor is warning the industry to not take the situation “lightly”.
Ericsson, in an “abundance of caution” to ensure the safety of their personnel as well as their contractors will be instituting a stand down in the U.S. and Canada on all onsite work from 5:00 p.m. Friday through 8:00 a.m. Sunday and will only be making exceptions on emergency work.
