    Fines should be paid directly to the workers that had to work under these conditions. They should also be paid in multiples of yearly salary, it’s a trillion dollar company. The company pays more as a consequence and those that suffered get compensation. Maybe also a percentage should go to the agency (not Amazon related) overseeing this kind of thing like the NLRB.

      It should also penalize the decision makers who hide behind the facade of a faceless corporation to allow them to do terrible things without consequences

        To be fair, it’s the corporation that lets them do it. They still have their jobs and salaries after all.
