Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Thursday night called Amazon "racist & classist" over a leaked memo indicating the company was considering going on a public relations offensive against one of its employees who organized a walkout over the coronavirus-related working conditions in a Staten Island warehouse. The memo said the employee was "not smart or articulate." The Vice News story Ocasio-Cortez was reacting to quoted the memo, which was based on notes from a meeting Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos attended. It was also sent to many people within Amazon. It indicated that the company was considering shifting its PR strategy from a defense of its efforts to protect workers to an attack on the employee leading the walkout, Christian Smalls. "Hes not smart, or articulate, and to the extent the press wants to focus on us versus him, we will be in a much stronger PR position than simply explaining for the umpteenth time how were trying to protect workers," Amazon General Counsel David Zapolsky said, according to Vice News. AMAZON CEO JEFF BEZOS DONATES $100M TO FOOD BANKS AS UNEMPLOYMENT SOARS DURING CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK "Amazon's attempt to smear Chris Smalls, one of their own warehouse workers, as not 'smart or articulate' is a racist & classist PR campaign," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "If execs are as concerned abt (sic) worker health & safety as they claim, then they should provide the full paid sick leave ALL workers deserve." An Amazon spokesperson, however, disputed Ocasio-Cortez's claim. "Thats not true. In fact, Mr. Zapolsky didnt even know the race of the person at the time he made his comments," the spokesman said. Zapolsky continued in the memo obtained by Vice News: "We should spend the first part of our response strongly laying out the case for why the organizers conduct was immoral, unacceptable, and arguably illegal, in detail, and only then follow with our usual talking points about worker safety... Make him the most interesting part of the story, and if possible make him the face of the entire union/organizing movement. Amazon previously justified its firing of Smalls by saying that Smalls "was found to have had close contact with a diagnosed associate with a confirmed case of COVID-19 and was asked to remain home with pay for 14-days... Despite that instruction to stay home with pay, he came onsite [Monday], March 30, further putting the teams at risk." Amazon also defended its treatment of employees. "Like all businesses grappling with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we are working hard to keep employees safe while serving communities and the most vulnerable," the company said. "We have taken extreme measures to keep people safe, tripling down on deep cleaning, procuring safety supplies that are available, changing processes to ensure those in our buildings are keeping safe distances..." It seems the word "racist" has completely lost its original meaning. Now it just refers to anyone or anything you don't like. --- ()_() Hardcore - We'll probably be modded for this...
