Senate Report Accuses Amazon of Manipulating Worker Injury Data, Reveals Twice the Serious Injury Rate Led by Senator Bernie Sanders
Dec 16, 2024, 05:35 PM
A U.S. Senate investigation has revealed that Amazon manipulated data regarding workplace injuries and ignored internal warnings related to worker safety. The report, led by Senator Bernie Sanders and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), indicates that Amazon prioritized productivity over employee safety, leading to a serious injury rate that is reportedly twice that of other warehouses. Internal studies allegedly found a direct link between the company's speed quotas and increased injury rates among warehouse workers. The findings have prompted concerns about Amazon's corporate practices, as the company has faced accusations of rejecting safety recommendations aimed at mitigating these risks. In response to the report, Amazon has defended its safety record, claiming that the Senate's conclusions are incorrect.
