This is a news story from CNBC News by Jessica Bursztynsky. Amazon is cutting pay for frontline workers that test positive for COVID. The new policy is that workers who test positive will now be given five days of unpaid, excused leave. Amazon added that workers waiting for Covid test results will no longer have time off excused since rapid tests are now widely available.
This decision has sparked backlash from pro-union workers who are arguing for better working conditions.
