COVID-19 relief for Macy's workers!
COVID-19 relief for Macy's workers!
Why this petition matters
We are Macy’s workers, customers, and members of the communities where Macy’s operates. We demand that Macy’s steps-up to do the right thing to support workers and communities in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying economic crisis. This is truly a historic moment; it is time that Macy’s acts like it.
Since Macy’s has refused to do the right thing, we are demanding that they must:
· Provide extended paid leave for workers who are required to be quarantined by their doctor, Macy’s, or by emergency government guidelines;
· Work with non-profits and local governments to assist their workers with childcare during school closures;
· Provide more than 2 weeks of partial replacement pay for temporary closures of stores and assist workers as they file for unemployment benefits;
· Allow workers whose stores are closed to get temporary work without the fear of losing their jobs at Macy’s; and
· Guarantee fair severance in the case of permanent store closure.
