Eff You Amazon - Amazon denies leave of absence to warehouse worker injured in NOLA attack...

Spread this around... and Boycott Amazon!

1. Amazon reversed their decision, but still...

She'll need to return to an orthopedist in two weeks to check on her foot. The Amazon warehouse where she works originally denied her request for a leave of absence, but the company said in a statement Friday that they've since spoken with her and given her time off with pay.

"We wish her a full recovery and look forward to welcoming her back to work once she's able," said Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel.

Regardless of how she was injured, if it's Amazon's policy to harass injured workers about needing recuperative time off, no fucking wonder they want to unionize! Fuck Amazon!

2. Old news. They allowed the leave.

3. I'm glad to know this...

even though Amazon, in general, is apparently not very considerate of their workers. The greedy class is always looking for ways to rip off someone, workers, customers, the government, the planet. Greed is SO UGLY.

4. They allowed it only after realizing they looked bad.

Hopefully they will think twice next time, but I doubt it.
