>>Senate Investigation: Amazon Warehouses Less Safe
(Washington, DC) -- A Senate investigation is accusing Amazon of tweaking workplace injury data to make its warehouses seem safer than they are. The report, released Sunday by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, comes after an 18-month probe into seven years of Amazon workplace injury data. Among the findings were that Amazon warehouses are less safe than the industry average and that Amazon workers are twice as likely to be injured compared to employees at other warehouses. Amazon rejected the findings, arguing it has made significant safety improvements and accusing the committee of twisting information to support a false narrative.
