Amazon, worker safety, and fact-checking

Over on Google+, my friend Patrick Tufts writes,

"A few days ago, a newspaper in Pennsylvania reported that Amazon was forcing employees to work to the point of collapse in high heat, and that an emergency room doctor had to notify OSHA. Amazon PR then came out and denied that conditions were unsafe, and blamed unusually high summer temperatures in the area."

"I like to fact check stories. It's kind of a thing with me," Patrick continues. "I can't check the first, but I can check the second two claims."

His conclusions are here.

Spoiler: He doesn't buy the excuse.
