Senators Call For Better Protections For Delivery Workers During Coronavirus Pandemic
Senator Cory Booker took their side on Wednesday, citing the petition inasking about the lack of protective equipment for postal workers, as well as reports that management was requiring employees to present doctor’s notes or positive test results to take advantage of paid leave.
“Delivery workers already face many traditional safety hazards, and the exposure to the virus is on top of that,” Berkowitz said. “They need to limit contact with the customers, drop things at the door or lobby. They need to be provided with those disinfectant wipes for their hands and any door knobs they need to touch—and to wipe down their steering wheels.”
Tim Davis is the CEO of the UPS Store, a franchise-based UPS subsidiary offering package delivery and mailbox services. Last week, he sent a rousing video message to employees and franchisees comparing the current pandemic to the Blitz of London by the Nazis during the early years World War II. A spokesperson for the UPS Store said individual franchises make independent decisions about benefits for employees, but that it’s encouraging franchisees to “provide curbside service when possible, practice social distancing and limit the number of customers in the store, and to use good hygiene.”
A Texas based driver named Jonathan Perales who delivers food for both Uber Eats and Postmates was for days unable to secure payment from Uber despite experiencing fever and shortness of breath because the doctor that told him to self-quarantine didn’t provide a written note.
