Give Publix Employees Hazard Pay
Publix should pay all of their employees time and a half as hazard pay during the COVID-19 national emergency.
Why is this important?
Publix associates come into contact with hundreds of customers every day, and in this pandemic are considered “essential workers.” Publix employs about 89,000 part-time workers who do not receive paid time off for sick leave. During this national emergency, Publix is making record profit. Publix should pay all employees time and a half to compensate for any health-related expenses that may come up during the COVID-19 pandemic.
