Between April 2019 and April 2020, in the run-up to the JFK8 warehouse's successful, historical union vote, Amazon averaged more than two citations per worker.
, the company issued 13,000 official notices to workers between April 2019 and April 2020. At the time, the warehouse had about 5,300 workers. These warning citations, included errors as small as a single item miscount in a storage bin of 20 things.
And JFK8 workers weren’t alone in collectively receiving the brunt of thousands of disciplinary actions in a single year. In North Haven, Connecticut a warehouse staff of 4,800 earned more than 5,000 instances of “disciplines” including firings, suspensions, and warnings. At a warehouse in Robbinsville, New Jersey, Amazon issued 15,000 disciplines among 4,200 employees between April 2019 and April 2020, according to court documents as reported by Reuters.
For example, a warehouse worker in Carteret, New Jersey was reprimanded for being “off task” for six minutes in June 2018. The worker received their disciplinary notice at 2:57 am, almost immediately following the six minute pause.These headphones give you control over just about every aspect of audio you could imagine, have a battery life of up to 24 hours, and offer incredible sound clarity.
