"Our equipment, packages, and warehouse surfaces are not consistently disinfected if at all. We all know from common sense and 8th grade science class that these measures have absolutely no effect on reducing the transfer for the virus between coworkers...." 6/
"...they're only implemented for the false appearance of 'social distancing.' We have all resigned to the fate of contracting the virus if anyone in our warehouse comes in with it." 7/pic.twitter.com/KILY5Flvi7
Amazon "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'..." 8/pic.twitter.com/ufdyfGLtCv
Driver for Amazon delivery station: "We’re next to each other in the truck all day, with virtually no health supplies or protective equipment. No hand sanitizer, no masks. We just got gloves two days ago." 9/
(cont) "And procedures in the station have not been made clear. There’s been very little instruction or communication from Amazon. Lots of close contact is happening in the mornings before we leave the dock..." 10/
"...There is a mood emerging since stay-at-home order that most of what we deliver is not “essential” & most of us could be sent home. Probably 90% is non-essential items—grills, trampolines, gaming chairs, jungle gyms, cat trees. That’s what we’re risking public health for" 11/
Even Amazon's posters in warehouses are wrong. 3 feet is not adequate! Needs to be at least 6 feet. 12/pic.twitter.com/5QJ4nexeTE
The situation is FUCKED. I'm an Amazon tech worker and I am horrified and appalled. Amazon needs to protect logistic workers and the public NOW.
I hope you will join me in donating to support them fight this and win! I'm matching up to $500.

Addendum: It's not just Amazon warehouse workers and drivers sounding the alarm.

I am ENRAGED. Leaked notes from an internal meeting of Amazon leadership show plans to smear fired warehouse worker, Chris Smalls, who asked Amazon for basic protections for workers from #COVID19.
“He’s not smart, or articulate." Chris is a Black man.https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/5dm8bx/leaked-amazon-memo-details-plan-to-smear-fired-warehouse-organizer-hes-not-smart-or-articulate …
