South Florida air conditioning is an essential function to beating the heat on a daily basis. In fact, in the summer months, that goes for most homes and businesses. However, it's apparent that perhaps not all companies feel that way. A recent expose into the Amazon working conditions in the Pennsylvania warehouse are apparently so poor, that employees passed out during summer heat waves because the company didn't have air conditioning in the factories where shipping was organized. Some people even quit over it. In fact, on June 2, 15 employees passed out inside due to the 102 degree work environment.
Also reported, Amazon even had paramedics on standby to wheel out employees post-collapse. They would revive workers, and if people wouldn't get better right away then they were sent home. Amazon representatives couldn't be reached regarding the high turnover rate or the conditions for employees.
