Union organizers say at least 50 Amazon employees were suspended with pay after they refused to work following a trash compactor fire at a warehouse in Staten Island.
A fire broke out late Monday afternoon, which led to day-shift workers being sent home with pay, Derrick Palmer, the vice president of the Amazon Labor Union, told the Associated Press.
But some of the workers began raising concerns, including safety and air quality because the building still smelled of smoke, the news outlet reported.
