This man is a legend. He never gave up and accomplished his goal.

It’s a shame that the reporter slid that elbow in at the end to get back onto his narrative. He ignored everything the man said.

If he was sent home then many more should have been sent home. You think he was the only one that came in contact with her?

[sportsfever]

The facts are what they are his argument is simply why he was the only one sent home when she made contact with a department of employees

[leonettecaldwell]

This reporter has an agenda. He was dancing around the issue instead of tackling it head on. The fact is that Amazon does a poor job at social distancing and notification of co-workers that test positive. Hell, fire the reporter too lol

[angelinamaria]

It makes no sense that he got fired 2 hours after the walk out

[DjSegwon]

Reporter couldn't trip him up, lol

[noseefood]

As soon as that woman was sent to testing her and everybody on her shift should’ve been quarantined with pay but now Amazon is back pedaling.

The irony, if he wasn't fired he wouldn't have time to unionize. lmao

[kyngkraken]

He was fired because he was a whistle blower .

[waterboiz]

We see what you're doing Dan!!!bet your sentiment would be different if he worked at Amazon!!!

[gemini]

Is this the same guy that brought the union to the staten island Amazon?

[icicicles]

@2:00 anchor ask did you violate the stay at home ORDER?
But, @1:15 the anchor shows the Company's complaint which states the Company "asked to remain at home", no where does it order to stay at home which would by unconstitutional and unbinding.

[redcash]

He messed up. He should have just stayed home with the pay.

[carlosenriquez]

I see what he saying .. he was watching out for everybody ... respect bro n yea stay home for now bro I don’t want you to get sick homie .

[sidDkid]

your employer cannot quarantine you - their 'authority' ends when you are not on company time

[raininseptember]

This reporter is terrible, Jesus Christ

[jeanineruggs]

I would have exposed them another he didn't use wisdom....and why was he outside around people knowing he had offered it's employers if diagnosed pay and they got an extra pay raise bc of the need for online NIT WISE NOT WISE

[ambiebambie]

This interviewer sucks! I can’t stand him. He’s not listening is he!! Amazon sucks! They treat their employees like crap. They do not care about anyone but the company!!

[ностромов]

Wrong, Amazon. Wrong idea, wrong response and it's not too late: give the man his job back, give the workers adequate protection (and more)! Amazon calls themselves "leader" and what kind of an example is this?! Terrible choice, I hope that they realize - and not do what they're on the path of doing. ALL THE BEST wishes to the manager, brave man. Good luck everyone, during these trying times!
