As tornado warnings and impending severe storms swept through much of the southern midwest region of the U.S. last weekend, alarming text messages between an Amazon delivery driver and her boss leaked to the public, exposing Amazon for supporting dangerous work habits. Just 80 minutes before a tornado would strike an Amazon warehouse and kill six employees, the driver’s boss threatened to fire the driver if she didn’t complete all of her deliveries as scheduled.

The dramatic exchange cast in sharp relief the chaos that can ensue when disaster hits and disagreements erupt about when it’s time to heed warnings and cease working. “Radio’s been going off,” the driver wrote in a text obtained by Bloomberg News. “Keep delivering,” came the response from her supervisor. “We can’t just call people back for a warning unless Amazon tells us to.” The driver suggested she return to base. But her boss warned that doing so could get her fired for failing to complete her deliveries. She fretted that her van would wind up becoming her casket.” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.
