The mass action, which has been termed a sick-out, took place on May Day, a bastion for the international labor movement.
On Friday, workers at Amazon, Whole Foods, Target and Instacart, among other companies, participated in a high-profile strike over working conditions amid broader unrest about the dangers of the COVID-19 outbreak for retail employees.
The mass action, which has been termed a sick-out, took place on May Day, a bastion for the international labor movement which has its origins in late-19th-century labor activism in the United States. "The vast majority of our more than 340,000 frontline team members have expressed pride in the role they are playing in providing an essential service in our stores across the country, and we applaud them for their efforts," the spokesperson said, emphasizing that the company has implemented measures to"create a safe environment" inside its stores.
"There were more than 10 people who called in sick at the Target in Jackson, Mississippi, alone," Akuno toldBoth Instacart and Amazon, which owns Whole Foods, disputed the impact of Friday's mass action as well. Instacart said that the company saw"no disruption" to its service. Amazon said that"the overwhelming majority" of its approximately 840,000 employees were at work.
