Bernie Sanders investigates dangerous working conditions at Amazon warehouses.

Senator Bernie Sanders is launching a Senate investigation into the "dangerous and illegal conditions" at Amazon facilities, claiming that the company made a "calculated decision" to treat workers as "disposable" and "actively harm workers in the name of its bottom line." The investigation highlights the latest effort by the U.S. government to hold Amazon accountable over its labor practices. Sanders called Amazon one of the "most dangerous" places in America to work, detailing monitoring techniques "to pressure and intimidate workers into working as hard and fast as possible" until employees reach "a breaking point."
