A New England record store chain and its employees are in the midst of a disagreement about the company’s decision to suddenly close a store and fire all the workers.

Employees of the Salem, New Hampshire, location of Bull Moose said Saturday that the closure and firings happened after the workers protested a company decision to allow customers to stop wearing face coverings.

Bull Moose said in a statement that its decision “had absolutely nothing to do with masks or face coverings for employees or customers.”

The company has several other locations in Maine and New Hampshire.
