Amazon warehouse workers

A report released by Senator Bernie Sanders says Amazon’s popular Prime Day sales event has been “a major cause of injuries” for warehouse workers who pick and pack customer orders at the company's facilities across the U.S.

For two years, Amazon has refused to recognize its single unionized warehouse, organized by the upstart Amazon Labor Union. Now the hefty Teamsters is lending its muscle to the union effort.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday opened a Senate investigation into Amazon’s warehouse safety practices. The move follows a series of probes Sanders has initiated against Starbucks and Moderna in his role as chairman of a committee that oversees health and labor issues.

Amazon has sued Washington state’s labor agency following disputes with regulators over citations and fines imposed on the company for worker safety issues. In the lawsuit, Amazon asked a judge to prohibit orders from the state agency to remedy any types of workplace hazards during its appeal over the citations.

Amazon shareholders have voted against a proposal calling for an independent audit of working conditions at the company’s warehouses. The resolutions are non binding, but they usually pressure corporate boards to take action. Shareholders also voted to approve compensation packages for Amazon's top executives.
