New York Attorney General sues Amazon, alleging 'deficient' Covid-19 response
CNN
New York is taking Amazon to court over claims that the company has failed to provide sufficient protections for its workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the complaint filed in state court Tuesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James argued that Amazon (AMZN) violated labor law with its "deficient" response to the pandemic. The lawsuit claims that the company failed to close its facilities for cleaning when it found out about worker infections, and did not notify workers who had been in contact with infected colleagues. It also claims that Amazon failed to give employees enough leeway on the job to conduct cleanings, practice social distancing and take other preventive measures.More Related News
