Amazon is being sued by New York’s attorney general who argued its extreme profit margins “came at the expense of the lives, health and safety of its frontline workers”.
Letitia James officially filed a complaint at the New York Supreme Court yesterday, accusing the retailer of both failing to provide adequate safety measures during the pandemic and punishing those who criticised its response.
Its Staten Island facility, which has been the centre of an ongoing legal dispute between Amazon and its workers during the pandemic, was a key focus of the lawsuit alongside a delivery depot in Queens.
