No barriers, not enough staffing, low wages. They seem to not know there’s a danger to employees.

We can’t work like this. This is why more than 300 Amazon workers across the country are calling out of work TODAY. Amazon must make the necessary changes to put our health and safety first during this pandemic! 2/2

🚨 Join us to #CallOutAmazon 🚨 Amazon has disregarded our safety throughout this pandemic, keeping facilities open where there have been positive cases and not providing us with enough cleaning supplies to keep us safe. 1/2 vice.com/en_us/article/jge77…

2 Walmart workers died last week because of Coronavirus. On this #WorldHealthDay we ask you to support the thousands of Walmart associates around the country, who stand are the front lines risking their health to keep shelves stocked and stores running. united4respect.org/governors…

Two of us already died from COVID-19 in Illinois. If Walmart does not take our safety more seriously, those won’t be the last deaths. Ask your Governor to force Walmart to control the coronavirus outbreak at its stores. act.united4respect.org/onlin…

NYC fast food workers need protections like the #FairWorkweek law and access to paid sick leave now more than ever. We will not let workers pay the price of the #COVID19 crisis while billion-dollar corporations are getting bailouts.

If you’ve clapped this week to appreciate restaurant & grocery workers, this is for you. The National Restaurant Association & some politicians are cynically pushing to suspend NYC’s “fair work week” law, which gives basic protections to these workers. We can't let it happen.

NYC cannot roll back labor standards during this crisis. Fast food & retail workers are risking it all. Making them bear the cost of uncertainty while chains like McDonald’s and Chipotle get a pass to break the rules is unthinkable.

🚨HUGE VICTORY🚨 After launching our campaign yesterday asking Walmart to publicly commit to step up to the #coronavirus crisis, Walmart has announced an “emergency employee leave program” by waiving its broken attendance policy through the end of April. cnbc.com/2020/03/10/walmart-…

The #FairWorkWeekNJ Coalition organized tonight's informative roundtable discussion at the LEC. @RUWomenandWork research finds volatile scheduling harms working families. #NJ lawmakers are considering a bill that would require employers to post schedules two weeks in advance.

Brian Kulas of @anti_poverty_nj, Nate, and Anna Haley highlight how fast-food and hospitality workers are often hungry, often looking for scraps of food at work to make it through. 42% of NJ hourly workers report hunger hardship after a shift is cancelled. #FairWorkWeekNJ

Anna Haley, Faculty Affiliate of @RUWomenandWork, says the lesson out of Seattle, which passed a fair work week law, is that it is ABSOLUTELY possible to implement fair scheduling laws across industries. #FairWorkWeekNJ is broad and diverse and knows how to get this done in NJ!
