The interim report alleged Amazon puts 'productivity before safety' and has a 'troubling history of under-recording' workplace injuries.
Nearly half of Amazon's warehouse workers are injured during its Prime Day savings event, a Senate committee's investigation found.
These injuries include everything from bruises and superficial cuts to torn rotator cuffs and concussions, the latter of which Sanders alleged is more often underreported. He also claims Amazon's history of underrecording serious injuries means the true number sustained on the job is likely higher. The interim report comes as part of the committee's ongoing investigation into Amazon's warehouse safety practices and is the first time, according to Sanders, that the company's internal data on warehouse injury rates has been made public.
