Amazon warehouse workers at a fulfillment center in Staten Island, known as JFK8, are planning to walk out on Monday.
Nearly 100 workers at the facility, known as JFK8, plan to participate in the work stoppage. The employees will walk out Monday morning and "cease all operations" until their demands are heard by site leadership, said Chris Smalls, a management assistant at JFK8 and a lead organizer of the strike. The workers want the strike to put pressure on Amazon to close the facility for cleaning and offer employees paid time off while it's shut down. Smalls said the facility has continued to run as usual since the employee tested positive. He fears the virus will spread like "wildfire" if no extra precautions are taken. JFK8 employs 4,500 workers and spans 855,000 square feet.

Looking for a bailout. Theybhijack high sellers and they get it made in China. That isn’t going to be the money maker without the slave labor. Totally orchestrated.
We need more than one major supplier they won’t be ableto get people all they need
ebruenig As they should. I don't want to go without things I need. But I don't want the things I need to endanger the immunocompromised loved ones I live with. There's no excuse for why the ultimate supply chain company can't supply their workforce with appropriate safety measures.
ebruenig .WholeFoods workers should strike too, until the company provides face masks for them to wear. Right now, not only is .WholeFoods not providing masks to workers on the front line, but some store staff told me that the company is PROHIBITING workers from wearing them!
ebruenig it is too late now
I'll take their job. The government is destroying small businesses.
