During this month’s historic heat wave, employees at Amazon’s largest West Coast air freight facility were conducting their own workplace temperature checks.
Carroll said the company at times asks employees for documentation of a family member’s passing when bereavement leave is requested. After he provided documentation, Brock’s bereavement leave was approved and paid, she said. Brock, 53, began working the night shift at the fulfillment center in November 2021 as a “picker,” to sort, scan and prepare packages for delivery.
His family had learned doctors wouldn’t be able to operate on his father’s heart valve. The news seemed to worsen his mother’s preexisting health problems. Brock’s mother was admitted to the hospital the week after they celebrated her birthday Dec. 13, Brock said.Harry Sentoso, 63, went back to work at Amazon as part of the company’s hiring wave. Two weeks later, he was dead from COVID-19.
Brock said he was under stress and stretched thin at work when he had an argument with a supervisor in early January, and he was asked to stay home from work for several days. When he went back to work, he appeared to be in good standing, Brock said.
Threatening your supervisor will get you fired in a NY minute. I read this article in the woke, butt-hurt Seattle Times, that steals most of their articles from other newspapers and the AP. Good Riddance!
The MAGA types vote against their own protections, yet scream when it effects them.
Are you sure it wasn't Meta by Zuck? Markey is pretty much shitting bricks by now and about to let go of 10K ununionized workers soon ... Any word on dis BS, news- paper-perfect-in - shortage - of - toilet- paper?
If they all come together and unionize they won’t have to deal with being treated like this
Amazon really cares about it's employees! I hear they even make delivery drivers custom piss bottles for their 10 hour shifts.
I was taunted by an aunt 2 days before my mom died. She called the LASDHQ on me the day she died. I was sitting outside alone crying when they showed up 6 cars deep. A PRVLASD deputy later helped HER an avoid elder abuse investigation. LACoSheriff lied about accountability.
Amazon’s inhumanity never ceases to amaze me.
JeffBezos Perhaps there's an opportunity to do better here. Thanks. 😎
