Amazon says >19,000 workers got #COVID19. But that's just 1.44% of their 1.37M workforce. Even correcting for age and geographic location, this might be a lower risk than the typical American. And it's another data point regarding USA attack rate to date. https://www.cnbc.com/...
Amazon has doubled its profits during this pandemic at the expense of the health and safety of warehouse workers and their families. I continue to stand with Amazon workers and their fight for hazard pay and paid leave. https://www.cnbc.com/...
Amazon was grinding warehouse workers to the bone long before the #COVID19 pandemic and, since its onset, its warehouses have been ample breeding grounds for the virus—nearly 20,000 cases so far! https://www.cnbc.com/...
