Nine Barnes & Noble workers in a single New Jersey warehouse have tested positive for Covid-19, Motherboard has learned. Workers there are staging a protest at the factory Tuesday because they say the company hasn't given them sufficient protections.

Workers are demanding the closure of the warehouse for two weeks, paid time off, and full disinfection of the facility during those two weeks. They are also asking for hazard pay, along with better safety protocols and personal protective equipment in return. The action is being organized by Movimento Cosecha, Warehouse Workers Stand Up, and the Laundry, Distribution and Food Service Joint Board (LDFS Union).
