OSHA cited Amazon last month for 14 recordkeeping violations, with $29,008 of possible fines, in the probe. The probe followed referrals from the office of U.S. Attorney Damian Williams in Manhattan. Investigations at Amazon locations in Aurora, Colorado, Nampa, Idaho and Castleton, New York are continuing. Amazon ended 2021 with 1.61 million employees. Critics have long accused Amazon of putting profit over safety by requiring employees to work too fast and skip breaks in order to meet quotas. Safety concerns, including after the deaths of six workers when an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois, collapsed during a December 2021 tornado, have helped spur union campaigns at Amazon warehouses across the country.
