Former Amazon employees alongside other organizers protested in front of Jeff Bezos' Beverly Hills home on Sunday.
Demonstrators had a list of demands, including "adequate protective equipment and cleaning supplies, as well as an increase of $2 per hour for hazard pay," the Los Angeles Times reported.
While workers have been protesting for months and some have even sued, Amazon has maintained that it's been taking good care of its employees.

Protesters led by a former assistant manager at Amazon took their frustrations to the gates of Jeff Bezos' home in Beverly Hills, California over the weekend.
The group got together on Sunday at Will Rogers Memorial Park before proceeding to Bezos' mansion and protesting work conditions, calling for free healthcare and an increase in hourly wages, the Los Angeles Times reported. Bezos paid a record-breaking $165 million for the Warner Estate in California, and has since reportedly paid another $10 million for the house directly next door.
The demonstrators demanded "adequate protective equipment and cleaning supplies, as well as an increase of $2 per hour for hazard pay," according to the LA Times. Furthermore, attendees reportedly carried signs that read "Tax Bezos" while chanting the words too.
Amazon faces multiplelawsuits from employees over its working conditions during the pandemic.
Sunday's protest was led by former Amazon employee Christian Smalls, who used to be an assistant manager at one of Amazon's fulfillment centers in Staten Island, New York, the LA Times reported. The march was also sponsored by a group he founded called Congress Of Essential Workers, according to the report.

Amazon fired Smalls after he assisted in organizing a previous walkout protest in March over the company's health and safety policies at its fulfilment centers after a coworker tested positive for the coronavirus. Smalls has claimed Amazon's firing constituted retaliation, which Amazon has continually denied.
