Amazon may be on the hook to make changes to improve worker safety at a Kent warehouse following a new court ruling.
After state regulators cited Amazon for failing to create a safe work environment, Amazon sued the Department of Labor and Industries in October. Amazon argued the department had stacked the system against employers, in part because the company is expected to implement some of the proposed changes even while Amazon appeals the citation.
A federal judge in Seattle ruled Tuesday against Amazon, finding the department did not violate Amazon's right to due process.
