Amazon Warehouse Workers Win Fight for Paid Time Off as Company Condemned for 'Reckless' Labor Practices "Amazon did not 'give' us PTO," declared part-time workers in Chicago, "we took our PTO from Amazon's greedy hands." After organizing last year to make sure they have access to clean drinking water at their work facility and successfully pressuring their managers to address the problem, with 150 workers signing a petition, the workers took on the company in January over its refusal to grant them PTO. The employee manual clearly stated that all employees who work 20 hours per week or more are entitled to "paid personal time to be used in the event of illness or other personal business." When they confronted their managers with their demand and the stated policy, the group wrote, the management "gave us all sorts of excuses saying 'this policy doesn't apply to y'all because you're part-time workers' despite the policy stating that associates who regularly work over 20 hours, like us, get PTO. Then management claimed that we don't get PTO because we're 'Class Q employees' which we had never heard of before." DCH1 Amazonians United responded by passing out flyers to their coworkers showing them the PTO they were supposed to be entitled to and wearing "Amazonians United for PTO" pins to work. The campaign eventually garnered 251 signatures on a petition which they presented to top-level managers at three separate All-Hands meetings over the past three months. On Friday, Amazon released a statement to all employees saying part-time workers would be entitled to PTO. The DCH1 Amazonians United victory followed widespread condemnation of Whole Foods--owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos--after it suggested, in the middle of a global public health crisis, that employees "donate" their PTO to a pool that all workers could draw from. camera bag cyber mondaycheap gucci bags outlet
