Some Amazon warehouse employees say sales day like Prime Day are costing them their health, while groups defending the rights of workers say there needs to be more accountability.

Amazon Prime Day is one of the company’s largest sales day, racking up billions of dollars in sales, according to estimates.

Ibrahim Al Sahary says he had to get four stitches in his leg after he fell working at an Amazon warehouse.“We have to be fast like a robot. So we say we’re not robots,” said AlSahary, who no longer works with the company.Ahead of this year’s Amazon Prime Day on July 16th, workers are concerned that their employers’ demands will go up and they’re health and safety will be further compromised.

Lapin alleges Amazon prevents workers from filing injury claims with Quebec’s workplace safety board, which could lead to compensation and time off to recover.“At AmCare they won’t encourage you to fill a claim to CNESST to declare the work accident, they will give you painkillers, they will offer you adjustments, they will offer you light temporary assignments, but outside of the system,” Lapin said.
