Amazon Worker Fired After Staging Walkout Over Company’s Handling Of Coronavirus Risk

Yahoo is now a part of Verizon Media

Amazon fired an employee who helped organize a walkout at one of its fulfillment centers over the company’s response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic on Monday.

Chris Smalls, the employee who helped organize the demonstration, said he felt Amazon had failed to enact adequate measures to protect workers at the facility as many Americans turn to online shopping as stay-at-home mandates expand around the country. Smalls was one of a small group who walked out at a fulfillment center on Staten Island, demanding the company close the site and sanitize it before reopening. He said Amazon had notified employees at the warehouse of one confirmed case of the virus but claimed there were several others that hadn’t yet been reported.

Shortly after the strike, Smalls was terminated after working at Amazon for five years.

@Stir Fry got another one :salute:





Dat solidarity :wow:

Now if we could just apply it to all walks of life :francis:





I'm protesting with them, by not ordering shyt,,,,, I will not put anybody life in danger for a fukking Wireless phone Charger and Citrus Based All Purpose Super Cleaner :francis: I'm good, all I need is food, everything else can be digitally downloaded.


Me too. Gonna try and stick to direct or ebay sellers from now on, which we all should have been doing in the first place. Businesses are making pennies on the dollar when they go through amazon or door dash, but they have to, just to complete with the other businesses that are signed up with them. But in turn, these online companies end up raping their pockets in a catch 22. I always offer to pick up the order whenever my wife wants food delivered.

Restaurants put up their dukes in online-delivery food fight
Although delivery can boost restaurants’ sales volumes, delivery fees can eat up as much as 30 percent of the cost of a meal, further squeezing the razor-thin profit margins of many restaurants.




As far as amazon goes, we can sit here and call it unskilled labor, but we all have read the horror stories of the quotas put upon their workers. This is a great reason for me to start reigning in on my frivolous spending, and in turn it will ease the burden on Amazon's overworked and under payed employees during this already stressful period for them.

It's hard passing up on a good deal and convenient delivery time, but we all lose, even as consumers, once these corporations get a strangleghold on our buying power.

nikkas on this website stay caping for fukking billionaires. For a supposedly "pro-black" site nikkas sure do love taking the side of rich white people.
Because they dream of one day being them. Puts some legs on the saying that many black people don’t want to overthrow the oppressive systems in place but be the benefactors of the system.
