A new Senate report finds that Amazon Prime Day results in a massive spike in warehouse worker injuries. An investigation by Senator Bernie Sanders’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee found that Amazon Prime Day in 2019 led to a whopping 45% of Amazon warehouse workers sustaining injuries. Bernie Sanders said of the findings, “Amazon may be a $2 trillion corporation. Its owner, Jeff Bezos, may be worth $215 billion. But that does not give them the right to put their $36 billion in annual profits ahead of the health and safety of their workers. This type of corporate greed must end.”
