Bernie Sanders Launches Senate Investigation into Amazon's Labor and Safety Practices

Senator Bernie Sanders has launched a Senate investigation into Amazon's labor practices, calling conditions at the company's warehouses "dangerous and illegal." The investigation is being spearheaded by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, of which Sanders is chair. The committee has also launched a website where current and former Amazon employees are encouraged to share stories of their workplace experiences while at the company. Amazon has long been criticized for its alleged labor practices, with reports of workers urinating in bottles to avoid taking breaks dating back to 2021.
