Amazon Warehouse Workers Speak Out During Coronavirus
Although Amazon now provides masks and temperature checks and enforces social distancing protocols, many of its more than 250,000 warehouse workers say it’s not enough. Some workers are staging protests and accusing Amazon of retaliation after at least six workers who spoke up were fired. CNBC talked to Amazon workers from around the country about what it’s really like to work inside a warehouse during the surge of demand created by the Covid-19 pandemic.
While the majority of Americans follow indefinite orders to work from home or learn that they’re newly unemployed, hundreds of thousands of Amazon workers are going into its 175 fulfillment centers to meet unprecedented demand. In an effort to keep workers safe, Amazon now does temperature checks, gives out masks, and says it’s taken “intense measures” to ensure workers stay six feet apart.
“I absolutely feel safe coming to the building every day. I would not be here if I didn’t,” said Adrian Melendez, the general manager of an Amazon fulfillment center in New Haven, Connecticut.
But some workers are protesting because they say Amazon isn’t doing enough to keep them safe. This week, workers from warehouses around the country didn’t show up to work, staging the “mass call out” to call for the immediate closure of the more than 50 warehouses with positive cases, among other things.
“I have to do this. I can’t not pay my bills and live my life. But then it was just knowing that I can possibly contract Covid-19 while at work and either become ill or even possibly die from it,” said Tonya Ramsay, a shipping dock worker for an Amazon warehouse in Romulus, Michigan.
Meanwhile, Amazon has fired at least six employees who have spoken up against working conditions since the pandemic began, citing a variety of reasons, from vulgar language to breaking social distancing protocols.
Watch the video to hear from Amazon workers around the country about what it’s really like to work inside an Amazon warehouse right now, and what Amazon’s doing to protect them while managing to keep the vast majority of its warehouses open for business.

What Makes Paramount Skydance’s Deal For Warner Bros. Discovery So Unique

Meta is facing what could be its most consequential trial yet, as 29 state attorneys general accuse the tech giant of knowingly designing Facebook and Instagram to addict children and misleading the public about the risks. The states are seeking civil penalties that could approach $200 billion and changes to core features like infinite scroll and autoplay, while Meta says the claims are unsubstantiated and that it has built strong protections for teens. The outcome of the federal trial could reshape how social media platforms are designed and open the door to greater liability for companies across the industry. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin examines why this case could become Big Tech’s “Big Tobacco” moment, and what a loss could mean for Meta’s business and the future of social media.

The Meta Trial That Could Reshape Facebook And Instagram

Micron was founded in the basement of a dental office in Boise, Idaho, nearly 50 years ago and has remained an under-the-radar semiconductor company for decades. Now, suddenly it’s minting millionaires and spending $50 billion to build new factories that are transforming its hometown into America’s latest boomtown. Unprecedented demand for memory has increased its stock value more than 10-fold since 2024. Sprawling homes are selling above listing price and Idaho has the fastest statewide population growth in the country. CNBC talked to wealth managers and real estate agents who now primarily work with Micron employees, jewelry store owners who say business is booming, and other Boise locals concerned about increasing traffic and strain on infrastructure, power and water.
