The courier strike has plunged the United States into a full-scale crisis!

As of 6:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 13, there were more than 1.84 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide, of which 550,000 were in the United States! It is the country with the most cumulative confirmed cases and deaths in the world.

Currently, all 50 states in the United States have entered a " major disaster state "!

As various parts of the United States have implemented " home quarantine ", the demand for online shopping and logistics services has risen sharply. Especially in the logistics industry, it involves employee safety issues, but some companies have ignored the life safety and basic rights of employees. As a result, strikes have continued to occur across the United States!

Many sellers must have been shocked by the recent surge in logistics costs, which are now more than double the usual costs. There are also many sellers who originally shipped the goods themselves, but when they asked about the price, they found that they would lose money after shipping the goods...

Of course, this is related to the current reduction in logistics transportation flights and the increase in logistics costs.

Currently, many logistics guys in the United States are on strike.

In response to employee protests, Amazon has introduced strict new rules requiring employees to maintain a distance of six feet (1.8 meters) from each other while working, otherwise they will be warned or even fired.

Amazon also fired Chris Smalls, who led the strike, for this reason, accusing him of "violating social distance guidelines." Smalls told the New York Post that Amazon's actions were naked "retaliation"!

In response to the surge in orders and worker strikes, and to further reassure warehouse employees at work, Amazon announced that the company is planning to build a laboratory to test employees for the new coronavirus.

I hope that Amazon warehouses can operate normally as soon as possible, so that sellers can replenish stocks as soon as possible and the products in the warehouse can be put on the shelves as soon as possible!
