Amazon employees plan to walk off the job on Monday to protest the company's decision to keep its Staten Island warehouse open, despite news of a confirmed case of coronavirus there last week.
Employees are protesting Amazon's decision to keep the Staten Island warehouse open despite news of a confirmed case of the virus there last week, said Christian Smalls, an assistant manager at the facility who is leading the walkout.Many more employees have tested positive for the virus at the facility than the company has publicly acknowledged, Smalls said, claiming that as many as five to seven workers have been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
But, he said, that may be too late, due to the virus's days-long incubation period. Smalls added that he has attempted to contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's office, but has yet to receive a response.
