Amazon warehouse workers walked off the job in San Bernardino. Here's why

Warehouse workers at Amazon's largest air freight facility on the West Coast walked off the job Monday, demanding higher pay and relief from hot conditions they say are unsafe.

In a statement, Amazon officials disputed the number, saying that 74 out of roughly 1,500 employees at the facility walked out.
