Amazon Must Do More To Keep Workers Safe

A recent Senate investigation has revealed alarming statistics about worker injuries at Amazon during Prime Day 2019—nearly 45 injuries per 100 workers.

These findings are a stark reminder of the economic disparity and labor exploitation that persist in our society. Amazon's warehouses, understaffed during peak periods, have become hotspots for injuries. The company disputes these findings, claiming safety improvements—but the data tells a different story. The ongoing scrutiny from OSHA and the U.S. Department of Justice emphasizes the urgent need for action.

When peak periods like Prime Day and the holiday season arrive, Amazon's understaffing issues exacerbate unsafe working conditions, putting profits over people.

We must act now to demand that Amazon prioritizes worker safety.

These unsafe conditions reflect broader economic disparities, where workers are exploited for profit without adequate protection. Worker safety is not just a labor issue—it's a matter of economic justice and protecting fundamental human rights.

By raising awareness about Amazon's practices, we can galvanize support for policy changes that ensure fair labor practices. We can influence public opinion and drive policy changes that ensure safer working conditions for all.

Sign the petition to tell Amazon to prioritize worker safety and join the fight for a fairer, more just society.
