Did Amazon Deny Time Off for Woman Shot in New Orleans Attack? What We Know

An Amazon employee shot in the New Year’s Eve New Orleans attack will receive paid time off after a mixup with the retail giant.

Why It Matters

Amazon has faced significant criticism over its treatment of workers, particularly in relation to working conditions, lack of adequate time off, and the pressures of maintaining high productivity standards. These issues have contributed to ongoing efforts by workers to unionize and advocate for better workplace protections.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed that the suspect in the attack, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was a 42-year-old U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas. Jabbar reportedly expressed support for the Islamic State (ISIS) in social media posts and rented the Ford pickup truck used in the attack. He acted alone, police said Thursday.

Trump and his GOP enablers can try to retcon what happened on January 6th. But we all saw it with our own eyes. We saw Trump and R’s lie about the election being stolen. People believed them and attacked the Capitol to try and overturn an election. The truth is the truth. Liz, as usual, is right.
