Federal lawmakers call on OSHA to release Amazon’s injury records

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota are calling on the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration to provide injury records for all Amazon facilities, citing an investigation by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting.

Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., a member of the House Education and Labor Committee, said she would work with colleagues to "provide any necessary oversight of companies not in compliance with federal standards." She issued a statement noting the unusually high injury rates at Amazon's Troutdale facility in her state, saying, "Any facility or company where workers are getting hurt five times as often as others in the rest of the industry needs to take immediate corrective action to protect workers' health and safety."
