JFK8 workers are walking out to demand that Amazon close the facility after an associate tested positive for the coronavirus.
Amazon warehouse workers at a fulfillment center in Staten Island, known as JFK8, are planning to walk out on Monday.
Nearly 100 workers at the facility, known as JFK8, plan to participate in the work stoppage. The employees will walk out Monday morning and "cease all operations" until their demands are heard by site leadership, said Chris Smalls, a management assistant at JFK8 and a lead organizer of the strike. The workers want the strike to put pressure on Amazon to close the facility for cleaning and offer employees paid time off while it's shut down. Smalls said the facility has continued to run as usual since the employee tested positive. He fears the virus will spread like "wildfire" if no extra precautions are taken. JFK8 employs 4,500 workers and spans 855,000 square feet.
