Numbers are tricky things. Amazon doesn't have a million employees in Staten Island. This is the facility where the organizer of a walkout to protest unsafe conditions, Chris Smalls, was fired. That backstory is part of the reason why this particular death draws attention. "So far, Amazon has closed only one facility in the US, a returns-processing center in Kentucky, and only after it was ordered to do so by the governor." I found this very interesting. Amazon performs essential distribution of goods, but perhaps there is a good reason that it has drawn criticism for the care it takes with the health of its employees.
