Amazon is 'obstructing' a House probe into the Edwardsville warehouse collapse after a tornado.
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. -- Amazon has been"obstructing" a congressional investigation into the company's labor practices during severe weather events by failing to produce materials requested of them more than two months ago, according to a letter members sent to CEO Andy Jassy.
"Unfortunately, Amazon has failed to meaningfully comply with the Committee's requests, obstructing the Committee's investigation," they wrote in the letter made public on Thursday. Amazon did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The company's labor policies during extreme weather events has been under more scrutiny since the deadly collapse of a company warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois in December, where six people died and another was critically injured in the tornado strike. Last month, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration wrapped up its own probe into the incident, concluding that Amazon met minimal federal safety requirements for storm sheltering.
