Amazon provided “misleading or grossly incomplete” data about the number of Covid-19 infections potentially spread in its US facilities, according to a labour group calling on the federal government to investigate the company.
“The available information is screaming for an investigation,” said Eric Frumin, the Strategic Organizing Center’s health and safety director. “How is it possible for the company to say it had 20,000 cases and only 27 were transmitted at work? That defies science and logic.” Amazon benefited from a surge in online shopping during the lockdown period of the pandemic even as many retailers were forced to close stores. In 2020, Amazon’s sales jumped 38% to $386bn, and the company posted record profits.
