To: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy
Workplace Safety for All Amazon Workers! Prevent the next tragedy now.
An Amazon warehouse worker tragically died on the job in Troutdale, Oregon ,on April 6, 2026.
According to local investigative reporting, the worker collapsed at the PDX9 warehouse — and Amazon employees were ordered to continue working while the man lay on the floor of the fulfillment center. "Just turn around and not look. Let's get back to work," said a manager, according to reports.
This is outrageous, unacceptable behavior from Amazon. And it's the latest stain on the mega-corporation's poor workplace safety record. Amazon's corporate greed puts profits ahead of worker safety.
Why is this important?
Three workers died at Amazon facilities in New Jersey in 2022. Another in Colorado Springs that same year. Sadly, the list goes on. There's no excuse for this to happen at Amazon.
Analysis based on a 2024 federal report from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), showed that Amazon's fulfillment centers report injuries more than two times as much as the warehouse industry average. Amazon workers accounted for 39% of all warehouse workers in the United States but Amazon reported 56% of all serious injuries in the industry.
A Senate report at the end of 2024 revealed that these issues could be even worse than that. The report said, Amazon “manipulates its workplace injury data to portray its warehouses as safer than they actually are.”
The PDX9 warehouse in Oregon where the worker died in early April has a reputation for harsh conditions. 26% of employees at the fulfillment center suffered from injuries, according to investigative reports.
Amazon has no excuse for the rate of injuries, the unsafe working conditions, and outright neglect.
Sign this petition urging Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to take immediate action to improve safety standards in Amazon warehouses and improve working conditions for all Amazon workers.
