Amazon’s fast-paced delivery model has come under scrutiny from lawmakers who argue that its work-speed quotas exacerbate the injury-prone nature of warehouse jobs. However, a Washington state judge dismissed a case alleging that Amazon exposed warehouse workers to injuries due to lack of evidence. The ruling, which pertains to three Washington facilities, marks a significant win for the e-commerce giant. Amazon stated on Thursday that the dismissal confirms that it did not put warehouse workers at risk of injury. The case was a major workplace safety issue for Amazon.
