Amazon Workers Plan to Strike Over COVID-19 Outbreak at Plant
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) employees at a Staten Island, NY, warehouse are planning to go on strike today at 12:30 p.m. because they think the e-commerce giant hasn't done enough to protect them after a worker contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
A member of an activist organization, who also serves as the facility's assistant manager, is leading the walkout. He told CNBC, "We will not return until the building gets sanitized."
The warehouse employs approximately 4,500 people and about 50 to 200 employees are expected to participate in the strike.
