"Internal company documents collected by Mr. Sanders's investigators show that Amazon health and safety personnel recommended relaxing enforcement of production quotas to lower injury rates, but that senior executives rejected the recommendations apparently because they worried about the effect on the company's performance."
"The report also affirmed the findings of investigations undertaken by a union-backed group showing that injury rates at Amazon were almost twice the average for the rest of the industry."
"Mr. Sanders said in a statement, 'The shockingly dangerous working conditions at Amazon's warehouses revealed in this 160-page report are beyond unacceptable... executives repeatedly chose to put profits ahead of the health and safety of its workers.'"
"Kelly Nantel, an Amazon spokeswoman, said the internal studies and recommendations Mr. Sanders's report cited were later found by the company to be invalid."
