A group of Amazon employees at a fulfillment center in Shakopee, Minnesota, a hotbed of Amazon labor unrest, ended their shift early on Sunday in a spontaneous walkout over the firing of a worker who had stayed home to protect her two children from coronavirus.

Organizers of the walkout said more than 50 workers participated in Sunday’s strike, but Amazon told Motherboard the number was no more than 25. The Shakopee walkout follows strikes at Amazon facilities in Staten Island, Chicago, and Detroit over the company’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
