Sen. Bernie Sanders Launches Probe of Dangerous Working Conditions at Amazon

HeadlineJun 21, 2023

In labor news, Senator Bernie Sanders has launched a Senate investigation into the dangerous working conditions at Amazon warehouses. In a letter to Amazon Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy, Sanders wrote, “Amazon is one of the most valuable companies in the world, worth $1.3 trillion and its founder, Jeff Bezos, is one of the richest men in the world worth nearly $150 billion. … Amazon should be one of the safest places in America to work, not one of the most dangerous.”
