The data revealed 10 injuries for every 100 workers during Prime Day in 2019, double the industry average, attributed to understaffing and Amazon missing hiring targets for peak periods.
The Senate report criticized Amazon for treating workers as disposable, with concerns raised by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on the neglect of safety and wellbeing.
Amazon refuted the report's accuracy, stating it relied on outdated and flawed data, contending against claims of inadequate staffing during busy shopping periods.
Despite record e-commerce revenue of $7 billion on the first day of Prime Day, concerns emerged over unsustainable productivity demands leading to common serious injuries, as highlighted by former and current workers.
