Small’s planned protest comes shortly after he organized a one-day walkout at the Staten Island facility after criticizing the company’s handling of the pandemic in regard to its workers.

Small’s has said that the company is not being honest with its reported number of coronavirus cases.

Following this, Smalls expressed his concern over the company allowing the employee back to work after being tested for COVID-19.

“She already had time to spread it. Her friend caught it. Her friend was the third case,” Smalls told WABC-TV. “She tested positive and she’s a supervisor in the pack department, and the pack department is right before the items go out [the] door to customers. It’s dangerous.”

The spokesperson continued, “Mr. Smalls received multiple warnings for violating social distancing guidelines. He was also 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, which is a measure we’re taking at sites around the world. Despite that instruction to stay home with pay, he came on-site, further putting the teams at risk.”

Smalls has continued to criticize the company and responded to his firing by saying that he didn’t “violate any safety guidelines.”

This company is “working hard to keep employees safe while serving communities and the most vulnerable,” the email said. “We have taken extreme measures to keep people safe, tripling down on deep cleaning, procuring safety supplies that are available, and changing processes to ensure those in our buildings are keeping safe distances. The truth is, the vast majority of employees continue to show up and do the heroic work of delivering for customers every day.”

The spokesperson added: “These accusations are simply unfounded…. We are committed to protecting our employees through our preventative health measures, enhanced cleaning and sanitation, and a broad suite of new benefits, including extended paid leave options for full-time employees, additional $2 per hour, double time for overtime, and paid time off benefits for regular part-time and seasonal employees.

“We enforce strict 6-foot social distancing on our property and throughout our facilities. We also communicate when a COVID-19 case is confirmed in one of our buildings to all individuals who work at that site—not just to those who’ve come in close contact with the diagnosed individual,” the email said.
