Grocery Workers Plan May Day Strike Over Lack of COVID-19 Protections | Eater
"A major online retailer has been criticized for firing warehouse worker Christian Smalls after he organized a protest demanding facility sanitation when coworkers fell ill; the company contended he violated social distancing after contact with a diagnosed associate. Leaked internal notes show executives discussed a PR approach that framed organizers as immoral before addressing worker safety. Smalls has since become a lead organizer of the May 1 cross-company strike, arguing the coalition aims to save workers' lives and communities rather than rush to reopen the economy." - Jaya Saxena
