Amazon Cancels Contracts With
Three Delivery Firms Amid Controversy Inpax Shipping Solutions, Sheard-Loman
Transport and Letter Ride LLC are the
3 firms at the center of the abrupt firing. According to Buzzfeed News and ProPublica,
Amazon places intense financial and deadline pressure
on its contractors, resulting in risks to public safety. The outlets were able to link at least
1 death to each of the 3 companies. The investigation also noted that though Amazon
controls most of the delivery process, “it denies all
liability when workers are exploited or people are hurt.” The decision will put more than
2,000 people out of work.
