Inside Amazon's hidden safety crisis: A Star investigation

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

A Star investigation has revealed the incredible toll on Amazon warehouse workers, based on internal company records. Worker injuries have spiked during COVID-19 with injury rates doubling in Toronto area sites since 2016. That is a significant rise. The injury rate is 15 per cent higher in Canada than in the U.S. The Star's work and wealth reporter Sara Mojtehedzadeh joins Saba Eitizaz to talk about the plight of low wage, temporary, warehouse workers whose rights have not been well protected even before a deadly global pandemic.
