Amazon, Instacart, Target, and FedEx Workers Explain Why They're Striking

By Lauren Kaori Gurley

Essence Nash, Amazon warehouse worker, Etna, Ohio

I am striking because of Amazon's work environment is hard mentally, physically and emotionally. It's sad we had to wait for a pandemic to get to this point, but I'm hoping this changes the work environment and labor as a whole for the future. Two things I wish the public knew about work conditions are that we get cases of COVID-19 daily and that there are no extra steps they're taking besides the ones we have been doing since the pandemic started. We’re also being micromanaged all day everyday no matter what you do while we’re at work.
