Senator Bernie Sanders continues to mislead the American public on workplace safety at Amazon

At Amazon, our employees' safety is and always will be our top priority-nothing is more important to us. While we respect Sen. Sanders and his work chairing the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP), the senator has issued another report that's wrong on the facts and features selective, outdated information that lacks context and isn't grounded in reality. Our voluntary, good-faith cooperation with this investigation was premised on the reasonable expectation that any report would be even-handed and truthful, even if that truth was inconvenient for people who want to claim that our workplace is anything other than safe. We're proud of the progress we've made and our commitment to continuously improving, and we were eager to share that progress with the Committee. Unfortunately, it's now clear that this investigation wasn't a fact-finding mission, but rather an attempt to collect information and twist it to support a false narrative. Here are some actual details about our record and the false claims in this report.
