Amazon and Instacart Workers Are Threatening to Strike — How Are They Avoiding Disaster?
The workers grew concerned after a colleague at the facility tested positive for coronavirus last week.
“Since the building won’t close by itself, we’re going to have to force [Amazon’s] hand. We will not return until the building gets sanitized,” management assistant Chris Smalls, who is also helping organize the strike, told CNBC. An Amazon spokesperson told PEOPLE in a statement that Smalls is currently on a two-week self-quarantine with full pay as requested by the company after he was possibly exposed to someone who tested positive in the building.
