Obama's former press secretary, Jay Carney, is now an executive for Amazon. After warehouse employees went on strike, demanding protective equipment to avoid spreading Covid-19, Carney said Amazon fired the organizer because he "violated social distancing rules."

Just the day before the strike, Amazon ordered him to stay home in "quarantine" for 14 days.

Was the strike announced in advance? I expect it was. If so, I think this quarantine was arranged by Amazon's as an excuse to keep its leader away on the day of the strike.

Amazon's PR staff intended to use that to distract attention from the bad conditions it keeps imposes on its workers.
