Senate Probe by Bernie Sanders Finds Amazon Prime Day Injures 45 out of 100 Workers
Jul 16, 2024, 03:24 PM
A U.S. Senate investigation has found that Amazon's annual Prime Day sales event is a major cause of warehouse worker injuries. The year-long probe, released by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), revealed that nearly 45 out of 100 workers were injured during the event, suffering from conditions such as muscle sprains, rotator cuff injuries, and herniated disks. The investigation highlights the dangerous working conditions in Amazon warehouses, exacerbated by the high demands of Prime Day. The findings, based on preliminary results, have prompted calls for legislative action to protect workers, including the proposed Warehouse Worker Protection Act, which aims to prohibit quotas that compromise safety.
