At an Amazon Fresh grocery-delivery warehouse in San Francisco, Amazon has been putting workers and the public at risk of coronavirus infection through cramped conditions, re-use of employee protective suits without cleaning, and quotas that make it impossible for workers to practice social distancing or sanitization, a lawsuit filed Thursday claims.

The suit filed by Chiyomi Brent, a “picker” responsible for fulfilling grocery orders at the Tennessee Street facility from Amazon Prime customers, noted that since coronavirus stay-home orders have been imposed, “the demand for Amazon’s same-day and next-day delivery services has surged.”
