Leaked internal Amazon data obtained by Reveal News that documents injury rates in the company’s warehouses reportedly shows that the company has publicly downplayed how dangerous its warehouses are for workers and that injuries have increased since the introduction of robots to Jeff Bezos’ facilities.

The data purports to document the number of injuries per week across 150 Amazon warehouses in the United States from 2016 to 2019. Reveal News states that Amazon defines a “serious injury” as one that requires time off work or changes to the employee’s job. The data shows that Amazon recorded 14,000 serious injuries across 150 U.S. warehouses in 2019. This is 33 percent higher than the company’s injury rate in 2016 and nearly twice the industry standard.



Perhaps the Cyberdyne T-1000s will work out better.

Hmmm, it doesnt say that the robots have anything to do with the injuries, however.

well the assumption would be stupid humans are getting in the way of the Robots and getting run over

I'd say Amazon needs to go 95% Robots and a couple of supervisors
