Working conditions at Amazon warehouses will be front and center starting Monday during a first-of-its-kind trial, as the company appeals Washington state Occupational Safety and Health Administration citations for violations at some of its Seattle-area warehouses.
This month and next, the state’s Department of Labor and Industries plans to call several expert witnesses and Amazon workers, according to a witness list filed with the appeals board. From September to October, Amazon will call witnesses including its own experts, managers and employees, its witness list shows. The hearings will be available to watch on the appeals board’s website.
“We look forward to showing that L&I’s allegations are inaccurate and don’t reflect the reality of safety at Amazon,” Maureen Vogel, a spokesperson for the company, said this week. Vogel said the company has improved its recordable-injury rates at its sites in Dupont and Kent. “Amazon needs to fix the problems” so workers can continue to work for the company safely, Frumin said.
