GMB wants Amazon warehouse in Coventry to be closed amid a Tuberculosis outbreak - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Currently, Amazon is putting all workers, site visitors, and the local and wider communities at risk of exposure to a serious infectious disease."
"Coventry Amazon risks becoming the engine room of a mass TB outbreak of a scale not seen for decades."
"Immediate and decisive action - including the temporary closure of Amazon Coventry - is required to prevent this."
Multiple tuberculosis cases have been reported at Amazon's Coventry warehouse, and NHS staff attended the site to perform blood tests on employees. GMB has written to Amazon calling for the warehouse to be immediately closed and all staff sent home with medical suspension on full pay while the situation is assessed. The union demands the site remain closed until appropriate infection control measures are implemented to prevent further spread of TB. The union warns that the site poses a risk to workers, site visitors, and the local and wider communities. Immediate and decisive action is urged to prevent a large-scale tuberculosis outbreak.
