This obviously calls for a vigorous response from @HeyNowJO, who championed the deal, the Governor, who approved the tax credits, and the rest of SI's reps.

It's PEAK at @amazon right now. That means quick delivery for Prime members. But what does it mean for workers? There's so much in this story, from "water spider" workers, to people having to hold their pee in order to meet their rate, to literal death.... https://t.co/o9LQtXd0wN

We knew that the Amazon warehouse on SI would bring poor working conditions. But we didn't quite expect them to be this bad. Remember: Amazon (owned by the world's richest man) got $18 million in tax credits from the state to abuse its citizens.https://t.co/2cIEpjcVQj

Our new investigation in @TheAtlantic:
— Reveal (@reveal) November 25, 2019
We obtained Amazon’s internal injury records for 23 fulfillment centers.
They show that the rate of serious injuries for those facilities was extreme – more than double the national average in 2018. https://t.co/Gzo4gepSnz
Uber's latest statement suggests that the driver fraud problem that cost it its licence in London could have occurred elsewhere: “With regard to the specific issue in London, we have since implemented a series of technical and operational fixes, which have been changed globally.”

Read this and ask if it is acceptable that a multi-billionaire treats his employees this way. And then remind yourself that YOU are part of the reason this is happening. Stop ordering from @Amazon
I've read plenty of horrifying stories about working conditions at Amazon and you probably have to, but this is the one that finally pushed me over the edge to feeling like it's time for me to stop ordering anything from them. https://t.co/McAFN9Vziw

What's the human cost of all these 1-2 day @amazon deliveries? Bones, blood, bodies. People are not machines & shdn't be maimed like this in order to earn a living. This @reveal story by @willCIR in @TheAtlantic is infuriating & heartbreaking, a must read. https://t.co/dPmdRGDrkX
