More than 300 Amazon workers across at least 50 facilities have signed up to take part in the protest, according to United for Respect, a worker rights group. To participate in the protest, workers will call out of work "en masse across the country" starting tomorrow and throughout the week. The protest is taking place across several days because workers are scheduled to report to their shifts on different days and at various times.
The workers are calling for Amazon to "immediately close down" any facilities that report positive cases and to provide testing and two weeks of pay for workers during that time. They're also calling for Amazon to provide paid sick leave, guarantee healthcare for all Amazon associates, eliminate rate-based quotas "that make hand-washing and sanitizing impossible" and commit not to retaliate against associates who speak out, among other demands.
The protest marks the first nationwide effort by warehouse workers to demand coronavirus safety protections, after workers staged walkouts at Amazon facilities in Staten Island, New York; Detroit and Illinois in recent weeks. Their calls have also sparked action from some of Amazon's corporate employees, who are hosting a "virtual sick out" on April 24 to demand that the company reinstate fired workers and to protest its treatment of warehouse workers.
Delusional unskilled workers.
Being poor shouldn't be a death sentence! The workers must have skill because Amazon could not function without them.
Paid sick leave is a matter of life and death. Amazon should meet at least some of their demands.
I agree that workers should be protected. Politicians should be in D.C. working 18-hour days right the fuck now putting protections in place for these 'essential workers'.
But the reality is Amazon could fire all these workers tomorrow and fill those positions the same day. Local governments haven't even paid unemployment and people are starving and willing to put themselves in harm's way. That comes back to politicians too. Why can't the local governments process shit to get money in the hands of citizens?
Seems like corporations are protected on every fucking level. I really feel bad for people who have to put themselves in danger for low-pay because their government has failed them at every fucking level.
Yes. Some of those "demands" were reasonable... most were not. It would be morally sound for Amazon to acquiesce on some fronts but a shut down request for any positive test is wholly ridiculous and unreasonable. We cant start treating companies as if the virus originates at their facilities.
I know a female supervisor that makes $50 an hr at an Amazon warehouse.. She says it's bad working conditions in general due to large amount of staff and the fact they have to work close together in a confined space.. Than the fact that people are literally sitting home just ordering shit all day just makes the workload nonstop and overwhelming.. It was already bad with the orders b4 the corona virus but now next level.. Just to give you a hint.. She said more than 10 trucks would load up during her shift b4 corona virus now it's easily over 40.. Think the workload is up 400 percent.. It's crowded and yet still under staff for all the work they have to do.. Than throw in the corona virus and 4get about it.. Not to mention a bunch of new staff that literally don't know shit.. Chaos.. She literally said she only goes to work 3 times a week juss cause she can't stand the chaos in there
I can imagine how hectic things are there currently. But most jobs suck.. And I can assure her she wont find another one that requires no education or skill willing to pay her $50/hr outside of selling that pussy. The fact that she can afford to only go to work 3 days a week kinda underlines that.
Maybe not $50 but ull be surprised about the money that's out there right now.. People making 3-350 or more a day doing instacart.. Chick I know did over 2000 2 weeks ago like 1800 last week, a few other people doing 1500 and better.. It's not about the money it's about the neccessity.. Obviously at this moment Amazon can't afford for all their workers to walk off and leave so those employees are as important to him as that money he dishing out... The fact he need about 100,000 workers says how much work needs to be done.. No money is worth your life
Did you see the thread about the woman who was "getting her cheeks CLAPPT" during a Zoom meeting?
I work in the sports and entertainment industry. Our industry was hit first and hardest. We are based in Atlanta and were planning 2-3 million dollars worth of events around Final Four. The day March Madness was canceled everyone in the office knew it was over. We just started drinking, the next day I spent the entire day calling vendors, talent etc telling them to halt production as is. Needless to say I was furloughed a week later. I hope I do not get called back anytime soon. Ive looked at this as an opportunity to do things Ive always wanted to do. Learn new skills, spend time with my 2 little boys, start something of my own.
How long can you hold out, though?

No-- That can't mean what first occurs to me.
9-12months, depends. Helps that my wife is a lawyer
@VAiz4hustlaz, I thought you were going to post what you were referencing.
They call it “Slave Wages” for a reason.
Damn, Twitter is actually doing it. This could be the start of a major shift:
Twitter employees can work from home forever, CEO says
Twitter's new policy comes as businesses across the nation are struggling to adapt to social distancing guidelines.

It really doesn't sound like you work at a nice place. Petty and vindictive. She'll probably be better off in the long run.
Nah. It was just a few bad apples. They're all gone now.
They pay you that much to troll for Republicans? Is it per post, per message board interaction? Do you get bonuses for mentioning Trump? How does it work?
Man working from home is great! Sure, tbe days tend to blend in to each other but it is less stressful than commuting and sitting around for hours.
It's a blessing to be employed nowadays.
It makes sense to me. Companies take advantage of depriving people of real lives and forcing workers to settle for artificial foster families.
One if the more ridiculous examples:
Zappos offers to pay employees to quit if they reject Holacracy (major Colin alert)
The story (or intro) is actually very short but the internal email (in post #2) begins "This is a long email. Please take 30 minutes to read through the email in its entirety." I know many of you would rather take your chances lying on a train track for 30 minutes but I think the insight into...

But I think it's the majority. So it's no surprise that a lot of people would be detached and more exploratory after a year away.
