“Amazon would rather fire workers than face up to its total failure to do what it should to keep us, our families, and our communities safe,” Smalls said in a statement. “I am outraged and disappointed, but I’m not shocked. As usual, Amazon would rather sweep a problem under the rug than act to keep workers and working communities safe.”


So which is to be believed? As Mr. Smalls' statement, like the Amazon one, hits very specific points with very specific language and intonation.
