U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Labor Martin Walsh calling for a full investigation into Amazon's labor practices.
"Recent reports have brought to light troubling working conditions at Amazon that suggest improper treatment of its employees, to the detriment of workers and families across the country," the senators wrote. "Today, approximately one out of every 170 U.S. workers is an Amazon employee, underscoring our particular interest in ensuring that the company's employment practices are fair, and in accordance with the law. We urge you to use every mechanism at your disposal to investigate Amazon's labor and employment practices immediately."
