It wasn’t just direct threats making workers uncomfortable, workers claim that Amazon allowed employees to wear clothing decorated with the Confederate flag, which the Anti-Defamation League’ story also cites Marcos Ceniceros, executive director of Warehouse Workers for Justice, who said there had recently been graffiti of swastikas and antisemitic messages at MDW2.
Warehouse Workers for Justice says that after the threats, Amazon told employees that they could have voluntary time off if they felt uncomfortable coming into work. As Tori Davis, a former employee, points out, though, that’s not a real choice for workers who need the income. Speaking to the, she said: “We had to make a choice of do we stay and make money and be able to pay our bills on the first, or do we go home and be safe.
Davis alleges that Amazon fired her after she threatened to take legal action if the company didn’t move to protect her and her co-workers, according to thethat the company “works hard to protect our employees from any form of discrimination and to provide an environment where employees feel safe.
