An Amazon warehouse employee in Brampton, Ont., says the company failed to tell all employees that a worker at the facility was infected with coronavirus. “It’s COVID-19, it’s must-know knowledge.
You have to tell your employees if there’s a case,” the man said. Global News agreed not to identify the employee because he said he’s certain he would be terminated if Amazon knew he had gone public with his concerns. “You’d lose your job for sure,” the veteran Amazon employee said, noting he is not a manager or supervisor with the company.
A senior Amazon vice president in the United States resigned last week in support of whistleblowers who have been fired by the company after calling attention to safety complaints at Amazon facilities.
