NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing Amazon over workplace safety at local facilities during the pandemic.
An investigation opened last March focused on a fulfillment center on Staten Island and a distribution center in Queens.
The suit claims Amazon showed a disregard for health and safety requirements and retaliated against employees who reported concerns.
