Amazon, Instacart Workers to Strike <br />Over Payment and Coronavirus Safety Instacart's strike will be <br />in effect nationwide. For Amazon, workers will stop at a <br />warehouse in Staten Island, New York where multiple people have <br />tested positive for COVID-19. The strikes come as demand for online delivery has <br />skyrocketed with people self-isolating at home. Amazon and Instacart have since <br />said that they will hire thousands, but their employees are asking for more money<br />and better protections against the coronavirus. In Staten Island, strikers want their working space to <br />be cleaned longer along with definite payment. Instacart's gig workers are seeking more money, <br />hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. Increased paid sick time off is also being <br />sought by workers at both companies.
