Amazon workers in San Bernardino claim the company will not allow them to take all their state-mandated breaks.

At Amazon's Air Hub in San Bernardino, people are working hard to pack and ship packages, but some say they're being short-changed on their rest breaks. 'Every summer we've had at the building, we've had to fight for our rest breaks for heat,' ramp agent Cynthia Ayala said. Ayala said she works outside loading and unloading aircraft for four 10-hour weekly shifts, plus overtime.

He's told me he's almost gotten into a car accident on the way home because he's so tired.'Amazon has not responded to KCAL News' request for comment about rest breaks. However, in a press release about its first quarter earnings, the company said it plans to invest over $750 million to improve worker safety across its network this year.
