On Thursday, a worker at Amazon’s BHM1 fulfillment center (FC) in Bessemer, Alabama collapsed while on the job. According to press reports, the worker was taken to the hospital where he later died.
Amazon, which employees nearly 6,000 workers at the Bessemer site, later told news reporters that the worker, whose name was not given, had suffered a “medical incident” and that the employee had not reported suffering from any preexisting health conditions. The company told
Business Insider that it would offer grief counseling to all workers at the facility.
