We are Macy’s workers, customers, and members of the communities where Macy’s operates.  We demand that Macy’s steps-up to do the right thing to support workers and communities in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying economic crisis.  This is truly a historic moment; it is time that Macy’s acts like it. 

Since Macy’s has refused to do the right thing, we are demanding that they must:

·      Provide extended paid leave for workers who are required to be quarantined by their doctor, Macy’s, or by emergency government guidelines;

·      Work with non-profits and local governments to assist their workers with childcare during school closures;

·      Provide more than 2 weeks of partial replacement pay for temporary closures of stores and assist workers as they file for unemployment benefits;

·      Allow workers whose stores are closed to get temporary work without the fear of losing their jobs at Macy’s; and

·      Guarantee fair severance in the case of permanent store closure.
