Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Jeff Bezos and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey want their workers to pay for
their colleagues' sick leave during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Their solution to how employees should take time off if they're not well
is for other employees to "donate" their "paid time off" days to their
colleagues.^1

As the richest man in the world with a net worth of $105 billion, Jeff
Bezos has the means to provide proper support for his employees in this
stressful time. Yet his solution to providing care for his employees, who
are dealing with this pandemic on the front lines, is to have Whole Foods
workers donate their PTO to one another. 

Bezos needs to step up and provide proper paid sick leave and family leave
for his employees at Whole Foods immediately. This is an unprecedented
global pandemic, and donating sick time is not a solution for those who
are on the front lines and providing essential goods to the American
public.

Mackey provide paid sick leave to their employees during the time of the
coronavirus.

Jeff Bezos, as the wealthiest man in the world, must provide paid sick
leave to Whole Foods employees immediately.

The burden of coping with this pandemic should not fall on those who are
least able to pay for it—especially when Amazon and Whole Foods receive
huge tax breaks from the government.

Bezos can afford to pay for frontline workers from his own personal wealth
without breaking the bank. It is obscene that he is trying to foist this
responsibility onto his hourly workers.
