Whole Foods Market Workers Plan Walkout
Whole Foods Market employees are planning a "sick-out" in protest of a perceived lack of protections for workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Vice.com, Whole Foods employees will call in sick on Tuesday to demand paid leave for all workers who stay home or self-quarantine during the crisis, free coronavirus testing for all employees, and hazard pay of double the current hourly wage for employees who show up to work during the pandemic.
"COVID-19 is a very real threat to the safety of our workforce and customers, according to Whole Worker, the national worker group that is organizing the sick out. We cannot wait for politicians, institutions, or our own management to step in to protect us.
