Amazon, state officials and unions impose information blackout after Bessemer, Alabama worker’s death
A conspiracy of silence surrounds the May 6 death of an Amazon employee at the BHM1 fulfillment center in Bessemer, Alabama, a week after the story broke. The worker, whose name has not been revealed to the public, reportedly died last Thursday after suffering a “personal medical incident.” The worker was reportedly found unconscious in the bathroom of the BHM1 warehouse and before being transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Bloomberg first reported the news and said the worker collapsed at the facility, citing unnamed sources.
