Amazon wages legal battle with New York attorney general over pandemic safety response
CNN
Amazon is waging a legal battle with New York's attorney general over the company's Covid-19 protections for workers, filing a federal lawsuit to preempt the state's demands for more safety measures.
In a complaint Friday, Amazon (AMZN) rejected an earlier conclusion by New York Attorney General Letitia James finding that the company had fallen short of health and safety standards at the company's warehouses and calling for additional redress. The complaint asks a judge to block James from using state law to enforce her requests, which include calls for Amazon to subsidize public transit and hire a health and safety consultant.
