New York’s attorney general said Amazon may have violated the state’s whistleblower law. According to Business Insider, Amazon fired a Staten Island warehouse worker. NPR reported the worker going on strike to protest the company’s coronavirus-related safety practices. The state’s top lawyer said there’s concern the employee was fired “to silence his complaints and send a threatening message to other employees.” Letitia James said the message is “dangerous” during a pandemic where these issues can “be a matter of life and death.”
