On 12/15/20 at 5:47 AM EST
Amazon faces legal action over claims it has not been cooperating with the state of California's inquiry into the company's workplace safety during the coronavirus pandemic.
The state's DoJ is seeking details on Amazon's efforts to prevent the spread of the virus, including its sick leave policies and cleaning procedures, as well as data on COVID-19 infections and deaths at the tech giant's facilities in the state.
In a news release issued on Monday, the department said Amazon had "failed to adequately respond" to its requests for information on its health and safety measures.
