AMAZON’S WORKING CONDITIONS ARE NOT SAFE
A LONG HISTORY OF WORKPLACE SAFETY ISSUES…
Working at Amazon is supremely dangerous. The record on Amazon’s deadly and dehumanizing working conditions is well established. Nineteen workers have died at Amazon facilities since 2013. Amazon warehouse workers face outrageous work quotas that have left many with illnesses and lifetime injuries.
The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH) has named Amazon to its list of “Dirty Dozen” employers twice. We won’t stand to be subjected to abhorrent labor practices that land us hospitalized or injured for life. Without change, nothing changes; these are the words the Mid-South Council of the RWDSU lives by. Together we can, and we will change our workplace for the better.
