> Despite that instruction to stay home with pay, he came on site today, March 30, further putting the teams at risk

The employee was exposed to another employee who tested positive for covid-19. They asked him to stay home with pay for 14 days and he came back to the building to protest, putting other employees at risk.

Does Amazon's instruction to him to stay home override his rights as an employee to organize and participate in collective action?

I don't actually know the answer. But in general, I'm guessing that you can't end a strike by ordering all employees to stay home and then firing them if they don't.

The coronavirus gives Amazon an excuse to use to order employees to stay home if they try to organize their coworkers. It's not a coincidence that Amazon only ordered this employee to stay home after seeing that he led a strike. If Amazon actually cared about their employees' wellbeing, they would have told Smalls to stay home after he had been exposed, not more than two weeks later.
