In a letter addressed to a manager at the Edwardsville warehouse, investigators said they discovered megaphones used to alert employees about an emergency were inaccessible and a plan for responding to severe weather events lacked site-specific information. Some Amazon employees didn’t know where the shelter was located inside the warehouse, the letter said.
Amazon is not required to respond to the letter, and it’s unclear if any mechanisms exist to ensure Amazon enacts the agency’s recommendations.
Sending a strongly worded letter to the warehouse manager for killing 6 employees :what-the-hell:
i was going to quote the same lines. toothless bullshit.
the standard should be 0 deaths. 1 injury should result in fines and lawsuits. a single death should result in criminal charges.
They can't even do a symbolic slap on the wrist fine, since that would imply they're liable and open them up to civil litigation
