BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.

@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa @TheSOC @NelpNews If the company cared about safety, it would listen to workers about the unsafe pace of work, negotiate a contract with the @amazonlabor, and cease actions that erode the very public agencies tasked with protecting workers. 11/11
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa @TheSOC @NelpNews -Crediting itself for mandated regulations: Amazon also congratulates itself on ergonomic improvements but fails to mention that many of those improvements were changes mandated by OSHA citations of the company in the last few years. 10/
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa @TheSOC @NelpNews -Underreporting injuries: The extent of underreporting has been well documented at Amazon by OSHA and academic researchers. In fact, @TheJusticeDept is investigating the company for “a fraudulent scheme designed to hide the true number of injuries”. 9/ seattletimes.com/business/doj-p…
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa Previous research from the @TheSOC and @NelpNews have repeatedly demonstrated this pattern. 8/ thesoc.org/what-we-do/the… nelp.org/publication/am…
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa -Claiming improvement while leading field in injuries: While there are fewer OSHA reported injuries than in 2019, when it reached a highwater mark of 9.0 injuries per 100, Amazon still far outpaces most other U.S. warehouse employers in the frequency and severity of injuries. 7/
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa -Data omission: Amazon emphasizes improvements in “lost time” rate. However, it does not report on “light duty”. Reports suggest that Amazon may be shifting cases that should be “lost time” to “light duty” to save money on workers comp. 6/ thesoc.org/wp-content/upl…
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa Indeed, the injury rate for non-Amazon warehouses in that category was only 3.6 in 2022 (compared to Amazon's 6.9 injury rate that year).
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa Specific issues with Amazon’s report: -Misleading comparisons: Amazon chose to compare its injury rates (6.5) to industry average (6.8)––an inappropriate comparison because Amazon comprises such a large portion of the category (71 %) that it has an outsized effect on the avg 4/
@OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems @lniwa -@OSHA_DOL has cited the corporation multiple times for under- and otherwise mis-reporting its injury data -a recent study from the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) found that nearly *half* of Amazon workers report being injured on the job. 3/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Amazon cannot be trusted to keep workers safe, and it cannot be trusted to report its own injury data. -The company is under active investigation @OSHA_DOL @TheJusticeDept @HELPCmteDems -@lniwa found that the company has willfully violated worker safety laws in the state. 2/
