Ridgewood NJ, Workers at Amazon, Whole Foods, Instacart and Shipt say they will walk off the job Friday to protest their employers’ failures to protect them during the coronavirus pandemic. In a flyer shared on social media, organizers of the “May Day General Strike” call on customers to boycott Whole Foods, Amazon, Instacart and Target, which owns Shipt.
“May Day General Strike” comes amid rising activism from workers at the companies, many of who have been exposed to and even died from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
