BREAKING--Costco, the nation's second-largest retailer, announces that it's adopting a $16 minimum wage for its 180,000 workers next week.

That tops Amazon's and Target's $15 minimum and Walmart's paltry $11 minimum

"Hazard pay should have been something that got implemented early and stayed forever. Or at least until everything went back to normal." - Maria, grocery worker in LA.

A dozen PPB officers showed up at the Hollywood West Fred Meyer today and threatened to arrest people who tried to take discarded food from a dumpster. The store had thrown away thousands of perishable items after a power outage.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Exactly. & right now we’re looking at a situation where COVID is being allowed to explode in low-income communities over next couple mos, creating a situation where access to vaccine will be limited or unavailable, all while framing Blk ppl as the image of the anti-vaxxer

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

...The obsession right now w/ whether Black ppl will take a vaccine that most won’t access for months is bordering on the same kind of scapegoating narrative we see when it comes to voting. Meanwhile little is being done to prevent a looming explosion 2/2 https://t.co/FHRU7miqcw

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I still don’t understand folks not realizing that the most urgent thing to save the lives of Black & brown people right now is preventing evictions & providing relief & sick leave... 1/

@nytimes Kroger workers don't have the option to quarantine. Every day we go to work we risk our health and the health of our families. That's why Kroger workers are coming together to demand HAZARD PAY NOW! ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏻✊🏾 #KrogerHazardPay #Kroger
