An Amazon delivery center in Sacramento, California rehired two warehouse workers after their co-workers organized to demand their reinstatement.
Managers at the delivery center—one of Amazon’s smaller warehouses—fired a worker named Sandra, who preferred to publish her first name only, after she exceeded her unpaid time off by a single hour when her mother-in-law died. On Monday, Amazon workers at the center sent the site manager and Amazon’s human resources a petition demanding that she and another fired worker be reinstated, and that part-time workers receive paid time off.
