Bernie Sanders launches Senate probe into Amazon, asks workers to share stories
Sanders, who has run for president twice and spent a political lifetime fighting corporations and monied interests over policies that he believes hurt the working class, sent a letter to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy on Tuesday accusing the e-commerce giant of “egregious health and safety violations.”
Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly said the company has received Sanders’ letter and is in the early stages of reviewing it. Injuries at Amazon have typically been higher compared with its peers in the industry, which critics and labor safety experts blame on the company’s fast-paced warehouses that track productivity and allow customers to get their packages quickly. Labor groups have seized on the issue in an effort to organize workers, some of which has borne fruit but hasn’t led to a massive wave of unionization.
