Amazon Loses Bid to Overturn Union Victory at Staten Island Warehouse
New York TimesMAY 2023
Amazon's warehouse and delivery workers are the ones paying the price for the company's obsession with the development of speedy and efficient systems. Productivity quotas and the fast pace of work have prevented employees from taking adequate bathroom and rest breaks, while also contributing to high injury rates.
OSHA's allegations do not reflect the reality of safety at Amazon warehouses. The company has been working hard to minimize risks and protect its workers, including by partnering with the National Safety Council and publicly committing to reduce musculoskeletal disorders, which are the most common workplace injury across all industries.
