Report on Amazon’s HR challenges spurs call for federal probe

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is calling for the Biden administration to investigate Amazon’s employee benefits practices following reporting by The New York Times, according to The Hill. The newspaper reported that the e-commerce giant has been shortchanging new parents, patients dealing with medical crises and other vulnerable workers on leave. Workers have been fired due to faulty attendance software and struggled to return to work amid a backed-up and confusing human resources system.
