Amazon, Walmart, FedEx Workers Plan Walkout On Friday
The Friday demonstrations will also request protective and cleaning equipment and full disclosure on the number of infected cases in company facilities.
The protest would result in employees of the listed businesses calling in sick from work or stepping out during their lunch break. At the same time, some union members will reportedly join workers outside warehouses and storefronts in support of the strikes.
"We are acting in conjunction with workers at Amazon, Target, Instacart, and other companies for International Worker's Day [May 1] to show solidarity with other essential workers," said Daniel Steinbrook, a Whole Foods employee and strike organizer.
Smalls was fired by Amazon in March after organizing a walkout and has said he will take legal action against the company.
