Amazon says employee has received multiple warnings for ‘violating social distancing guidelines’.
Amazon has denied wrongdoing in the matter, saying it fired the worker because he had put the safety of others at risk. “The allegation is because he spoke up for the safety of his fellow workers he was fired,” de Blasio said at a media briefing on the coronavirus. “If so, that would be a violation of our city human rights law. We would act on it immediately.”Amazon has repeatedly denied the assertions of the warehouse worker, Christian Smalls, who organised Monday’s protest.
“Mr Smalls received multiple warnings for violating social distancing guidelines and putting the safety of others at risk,” Kristen Kish, a spokeswoman for the company, said in an emailed statement.
