New York, April 4 (RHC)-- Executives at Amazon have reportedly launched a PR campaign to smear fired employee Christian Smalls, after he led a strike at a Staten Island Amazon warehouse demanding sanitized workspaces, protective masks and COVID-19 tests for workers. 

At a meeting attended by multibillionaire CEO Jeff Bezos this week, Amazon general counsel David Zapolsky reportedly declared Smalls “not smart or articulate” and outlined an anti-union campaign with Smalls as the “face of the entire union/organizing movement.” 

According to health officials, at least 30 Amazon fulfillment centers have tested positive for the coronavirus.
