Amazon.com Inc. should add a storm shelter to the warehouse that partially collapsed after being struck by a tornado last year, some lawmakers say. Six people were killed when two walls and a section of roof collapsed.
In a Dec. 15 letter to Amazon, CEO Andy Jassy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), said a plan to rebuild Amazon’s Edwardsville, Ill., fulfillment center to “pre-loss conditions” is not sufficient to prevent future harm to workers at the warehouse.
