'We are scared to go to work and disgusted at Amazon's disregard for our safety and our health and the health of our neighbors.'
Amazon workers at the distribution center in Romulus, Michigan, will be walking off their jobs Wednesday at noon in response to the company's failure to protect the health of its employees amid the coronavirus outbreak, according to a statement.
"We are scared to go to work and disgusted at Amazon's disregard for our safety and our health and the health of our neighbors," said Tonya Ramsay, a leader of the walkout and a worker at DTW1, in the statement."We aren't heroes, and we aren't Red Cross workers – we are working people who pack and deliver goods. We're working through a crisis not by choice but by necessity.
