A report by news site Reveal said the week around last year’s Prime Day was the most dangerous for injuries at Amazon’s fulfillment centers, prompting criticism by a prominent union.

“During normal times it’s a grueling period for workers. During a global pandemic it may well push workers beyond their limit,” he said.
