(NEW YORK, NY) – Workers at Amazon’s JFK8 facility will walk out tomorrow due to the company’s lack of safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. Stuart Appelbaum, President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) issued the following statement:

“All employers need to prioritize the health and safety of their workforce at this time.  Unfortunately, Amazon appears to be prioritizing maximizing its enormous profits even over its employees’  safety - and that is unacceptable.”
