Amazon warehouse workers are essential workers who need protection too!
Provide paid sick leave to warehouses employees to those employees who have tested positive for COVID-19, and to those who may be feeling ill and decide to stay home.
Employees who decide to self-isolate due to feeling ill, but have not gotten tested yet, should not face repercussion once they return to work.

Why is this important?
Amazon needs to provide protection and assurance to its front-line employees during this difficult time. That is why employees should not face retribution when they return to work after the two weeks. Employees continue to show loyalty to the company by going to work when scheduled despite the unsafe environment they experience while in the warehouse. Every day they fulfill orders for all of Amazon’s customers around the globe, allowing Amazon to achieve its mission and vision which is to be “customer-centric” by serving their customers and focusing on what an Amazon customer would want.
We believe this safety concern needs to be addressed quickly to help flatten the curve and save lives. Many front-line workers are putting themselves and their families at risk so we can continue purchasing items and protecting ourselves at home. We need to care for our front-line workers: nurses, doctors, police officers, grocery clerks, warehouse workers. Many companies are prioritizing the health and safety of their stakeholders, especially their employees. If so many businesses can provide relief in some ways, why can't Amazon?
