USA: Amazon's response to policymakers' letter re. poor working conditions

Ver todas las etiquetas

"Amazon renews open invitation for Sanders, policymakers to visit fulfillment centers", 16 July 2019 

...The allegations outlined in this letter are not an accurate portrayal of activities in our buildings. But don’t take our word for it, join the more than 125,000 people, including 441 policymakers and their staffs, who have taken our public tours this year... Our visitors have included U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar who did not raise concerns in the months following her tour of our Minnesota facility. We have also given Senator Bernie Sanders an open invitation to visit a facility of his choosing... He committed to visiting, but to date has never stepped foot in one of our buildings...

Safety is a fundamental principle across our company... We continually invest in innovative ways to create a safe working environment...We regularly seek employee feedback about safety...

For us, one incident is too many. That’s why we take all necessary measures to ensure we meet and exceed safety requirements and continuously update our safety policies and trainings to prevent incidents.

If Rep. Omar and Sen. Sanders really want to help the American worker, they should focus on passing legislation that raises the federal minimum wage — $7.25 is too low.
