The moves came as the company also fired half a dozen senior managers at the JFK8 warehouse, which was seen as a reshuffling after the recent union vote, according to a report fromOrganizers Mat Cusick and Tristan Dutchin said they were let go last week; one cited for performance issues, while another was suddenly locked out of his employee account after going on a 13-day COVID-19 leave.
“I was fired by a robot and I didn’t do anything wrong,” said Cusick, 38, who started working at the DYY6 warehouse, one of four on Amazon’s Staten Island compound, last fall. “I was on a leave and suddenly they say I’m no longer employed.”
