It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Not Christmas, but Amazon Prime Day season. That’s at least if you’re a consumer cashing in on deals offered by the e-commerce giant, which ranks No. 2 on the Fortune 500. And it’s particularly lucrative for Amazon, which in 2023 recorded $12.7 billion in sales for 375 million products over the course of just two days.
But Prime Day is doomsday for Amazon warehouse workers who suffer injuries at an “outrageous level,” during the high-traffic week, according to a report released Tuesday by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
