The past few years have brought profits and growth to Amazon, but it\\u2019s come at a cost to many workers. Amazon warehouse employees are injured on the job at a higher rate than at other companies, even as the company has claimed to prioritize safety.
\\n\\nHost Al Letson speaks with Reveal\\u2019s Will Evans, who\\u2019s been reporting on injuries at Amazon for years. By gathering injury data and speaking with workers and whistleblowers, he has focused national attention on the company\\u2019s safety record, prompting regulators, lawmakers and the company itself to address the issue more closely.
\\n\\nThen, we bring back a story by Reveal\\u2019s Jennifer Gollan that looks at the most common type of injury at Amazon and other workplaces and why the government chose not to try to prevent it.
\\n\\nWe end with a reprise of a story from reporter Laura Sydell about online reviews of products and businesses and how many of them are not what they seem.
