Amazon Says Oregon Worker’s Death Wasn’t Work-Related

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon. Amazon says it wasn’t connected to their job.

The company faces a pattern of safety concerns across its fulfillment centers. Warehouse workers have previously reported injuries, long shifts, and inadequate safety protocols. Amazon has pushed back on these claims, arguing it invests heavily in worker safety programs.

The specifics of what happened at the Oregon facility and how Amazon determined the death was unrelated to work conditions weren’t disclosed. Amazon hasn’t released the worker’s name or other details about the incident.
