Amazon, Instacart Grocery Delivery Workers Demand Coronavirus Protection And Pay
[link:https://www.npr.org/2020/03/30/823767492/amazon-instacart-grocery-delivery-workers-strike-for-coronavirus-protection-and-|
The workers are asking for a variety of changes:
Workers from both Amazon and Instacart want more access to paid sick time off. At this time, it's available only to those who have tested positive for the coronavirus or get placed on mandatory self-quarantine.
Amazon workers want their warehouse to be closed for a longer cleaning, with guaranteed pay.
Instacart's grocery delivery gig workers are asking for disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer and better pay to offset the risk they are taking.
It was unclear how many Instacart gig workers participated in Monday's action and refused to work. A spokeswoman for the company said it has seen "absolutely no impact to Instacart's operations." She said in the last week, 250,000 new people signed up to work through the app and a fifth of them have already started picking up gigs.

Peope who work at Krogers near me are risking their lives for ***$7.50*** / hour. And I doubt they have any benefits. This from the corp which has a stranglehold on groceries! 
Of course, most of them think it's all a "Democrat hoax." 🤮 (Shithole TN)
up until the point when someone they know gets the virus then it will be "Katie bar the door", we need every kind of help available and where it the government to fix this "Those damn Democrats screwed this up again..............."
And when they get sick or die, it wil still be Dem's fault because they are so stupid it's amazing they can breathe when they are healthy! 🤮
