1/ We are hearing horrifying stories from our coworkers in Amazon warehouses about their working conditions during the pandemic. Amazon is not taking adequate steps to protect its workers, and therefore the public, from #COVID19
2/ We’re hearing from warehouse workers everywhere. In NYC: “After the second case, amazon didn’t close the building even for one shift. After the third, they closed it for 48 hrs. They still have not implemented proper social distancing procedures..." #nyccovid19pic.twitter.com/QJBbH4k5zv
3/ Earlier this week, on Mar 23, extreme lack of social distancing in an Amazon warehouse in Poland:https://twitter.com/pracownicza/status/1242198232614219780 …
4/ Mar 25 “Amazon is being very opaque, not informing us about coronavirus cases at our workplaces or workplaces up the logistics stream and even lying to us at stand up when we ask whether a coworker that was taken away in an ambulance had coronavirus or not.”pic.twitter.com/RycUMkITyR
5/ An Amazon warehouse worker was written up for leaving two minutes early for break to wash their hands:https://twitter.com/pracownicza/status/1242858248912453638 …
6/Mar 25 “Today we found out that there’s two positive people who’ve worked at the warehouse.They found out on the 17th & waited 8 DAYS to tell us. Risking our health. They still expect us to work & believe they’ll disinfect in the building...after lying to us." #michigancovid19pic.twitter.com/YKAn5kASUq
7/ “Our equipment, packages, and warehouse surfaces are not consistently disinfected...We have all resigned to the fate of contracting the virus if anyone in our warehouse comes in with it.” #covid19chicagopic.twitter.com/QYIAk6acG5
8/ “The company is prioritizing essential goods only on the inbound side. The orders going out are the same as always. You get to a pack station and you have no way to sanitize it, and you ask yourself 'am I really risking my health to send someone a fucking bar stool.”pic.twitter.com/Uif4hNx6YF
9/ “A lack of gloves was one of several deficits...at local Amazon facilities and Whole Foods stores. Other inadequacies...include a lack of time to properly wash hands or sanitize shared equipment, a constant emphasis on speed and management indifference...”
10/ “...attorneys general in 14 states and Washington, D.C., said Amazon’s sick leave policies are “inadequate to protect the public health during the developing COVID-19 crisis,” according to a letter they sent to the company Wednesday.”https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-workers-say-coronavirus-safety-measures-are-missing-despite-what-company-says/ …
11/ Four US Senators are sounding the alarm, stating “any failure of Amazon to keep its workers safe does not just put their employees at risk, it puts the entire country at risk.

12/ This pandemic—like the climate crisis—threatens everybody, but not equally. Logistic workers are on the front lines risking their lives now. AECJ supports warehouse worker demands outlined here, and we ask all Amazon workers to sign this petition:https://medium.com/@amazoniansunitednyc/we-amazon-workers-demand-coronavirus-protections-16f28ad8b15f …
13/ While we push Amazon to fix unsafe conditions and give better paid leave, we also want to support workers who need to pay their bills while they follow health guidelines and self-quarantine. Please donate to NYC workers directly:https://twitter.com/NYCAmazonians/status/1243240288157646851 …
