Chris Manno, an STL8 worker for Amazon joins Megan and Tom with details from a new report from a Senate committee. 

Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee released initial findings from its year-long investigation into Amazon's injury crisis. The Committee — whose investigation was prompted by organizing among workers at the STL8 fulfillment center since 2022, including multiple visits with Senate HELP Committee staff on Capitol Hill last spring — found evidence that Amazon knows its injury rate is much higher than it has revealed to the public and regulators. In 2019, nearly 45 percent of workers were injured during peak times like Prime Day and holidays, as a result of company management pressuring employees to work at unsafe speeds, according to internal company documents made public for the first time.
