Key Points
Amazon warehouse workers at a fulfillment center in Staten Island, known as JFK8, are planning to walk out on Monday.
The workers are striking to demand that Amazon close the facility after an associated tested positive for the coronavirus there last week.
While only one case has been reported publicly, JFK8 workers claim managers aren’t being transparent about how many people are sick with the virus and say at least seven people have the coronavirus.
