Poll: Was your place of employment affected by wildfire smoke?

Wildfire smoke continues to be a concern for many workers across our region. As air quality fluctuates, it creates significant challenges for those whose daily duties occur outdoors or in areas without specialized ventilation. We are examining how these conditions directly impact your work environment and professional operations.

Our team is gathering stories for the upcoming UpNorthLive Unscripted broadcast this Thursday at 6:30 p.m. on ABC 29&8. Whether you experienced temporary site closures, health-related schedule changes, or shifts in how your business handles outdoor labor, we want to hear your perspective. Direct input from our audience helps frame the conversation around workplace safety and local environmental standards.

We encourage you to participate in our current poll regarding these air quality issues. Your feedback provides necessary context for our discussion on air safety in Northern Michigan. Please share your experiences and cast your vote before the broadcast this Thursday.
