Some Instacart, Amazon workers strike as jobs get riskier

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Some Instacart and Amazon warehouse workers walked off the job Monday demanding greater safeguards against the coronavirus, even as both companies are speed-hiring hundreds of thousands of new workers to handle a surge in delivery orders. Online grocery-delivery service Instacart and Amazon say they are working to equip their workers with sanitation gear and have taken steps to increase pay and extend paid sick time. While many Instacart workers said they would stop taking orders Monday, other, newer workers were reluctant to give up a source of income at a time of mass layoffs. In the past week, Instacart said 250,000 people have signed up to work as full-service shoppers — “gig” workers who make multiple trips a day to groceries stores to get and deliver groceries that people order on its app. But Whole Workers, the group calling for a strike Tuesday, said they want hazard pay, immediate shut down of stores if a worker tests positive and health care benefits for part-time and seasonal workers.
