Amazon employees from the Staten Island fulfillment center handed out 6,000 Thanksgiving meals to families across the borough on Saturday. To date, Amazon has donated more than $250,000 to food banks near its fulfillment centers in 2019. Meanwhile, workers from the same warehouse are planning a rally to demand better working conditions, according to the New York Post. A  labor advocacy group claims that workers at the facility are facing an injury rate that is three times higher than similar warehouse work and 15.2 times greater than any job category tracked by the government.
