'We can do better': Amazon warehouse workers stage largest protest since coronavirus outbreak

A movement of Amazon warehouse workers fearful of coronavirus exposure escalated its confrontation on Tuesday over what they consider insufficient safety measures, as workers launched a protest that will involve about 350 employees refusing to work in more than 50 warehouses in the coming days, organizers said.

The novel coronavirus has hiked demand for Amazon’s (AMZN) delivery service as hundreds of millions of Americans are forced into their homes. But the global pandemic has also prompted fear and frustration among many of the company’s warehouse workers, who have staged a series of protests nationwide accusing the company of inadequate safety measures and insufficient paid leave as more Amazon warehouses have reported infections. Amazon has strongly disputed the claims.

The walkout on Tuesday kicks off the largest Amazon worker protest since the coronavirus outbreak, expanding the movement from scores of workers at a handful of warehouses to hundreds spread across dozens of facilities in about 20 states, according to organizers. Workers called on the company to provide paid leave for workers to stay home if necessary, as well as temporarily close warehouses that have failed to address the safety risks.
