Amazon Suspends Workers After Protest Over Warehouse Fire

“Several dozen night-shift employees at a Staten Island site that recently voted to unionize had refused to work amid safety concerns.”

Amazon suspended more than two dozen employees at a warehouse on Tuesday. The works who were fired had previously refused to work their shifts because a cardboard compactor had caught fire the previous evening.

The employees were concerned for the disregard of fire safety and didn’t feel safe working around the toxic fumes/smoke.

I think the lede of this story is solid. It gives the reader enough information to know what generally happened, but it also leaves the reader wanting to know more information.

I think the author covered a decent amount of what we should know at this moment. There’s still quite a bit of information not covered because it is so recent. We don’t know if/when these workers will join the Labor Union, so there’s only so much information to be told.
