NEWS THREAD: @amazon worker in Charlotte, NC just reached out (keeping anonymous to protect job). "They only recently switched the COVID-19 testers from regular workers to Medical technicians under the supervision of a Nurse Practitioner & put in plexiglass barriers at the...
testing stations (approximately 3 weeks ago). The worker filed a complaint about the lack of sanitized supplies at each work space. "The notifications about people who test positive [for COVID] are so numerous - sometimes 3 or 4 per day - they overpopulate my text messages...
"They are also strategically vague & do not specify where in the warehouse the person worked or what shift"...
"I had to file a complaint regarding cleanliness & sanitizing supplies at every work station & in the break area where we eat (they partially corrected the issue directly after my complaint-still fighting for cleaning supplies & sanitizing gel/spray at the work stations)."
"They were administering test to all workers including themselves," Charlotte North Carolina @amazon worker told me. Self-testing is the standard NOW... prior to this they were handing out the kits AND performing the tests...on other workers."
THIS contradicts @amazon's claim in response to death of 38 yr old Poushawn Brown, who suddenly died after working in Amazon's COVID testing area in VA warehouse. Poushawn WAS administering COVID nasal swabs to co-workers. In response, @amazon said workers "self-administer swabs"
