She Says Amazon Fired Her For Speaking Out. Now She's Fighting Back

What happens when a worker at an Amazon warehouse sees something concerning and speaks up? Today on the show, we bring you the story of Linda Rodriguez, a local grandmother who got a job at the Amazon fulfillment center in Thornton right before the pandemic started. Host Bree Davies speaks with Linda’s attorney David Seligman, who portrays her as a woman caught in an impossible situation, compelled to stand up for what she thought was right. We also hear from Linda herself about the conditions inside DEN3, the Amazon fulfillment center in Thornton where she says Amazon neglected to communicate important COVID safety information with its Spanish-speaking workforce. David Seligman is also executive director of the local legal nonprofit Towards Justice, which you can learn more about here: https://towardsjustice.org/ If you want to read more about Linda’s case, here’s a link to the formal complaint David and his colleagues at Swain Law LLC filed with the Department of Labor and Employment on Thursday: https://towardsjustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/5.6.21-amazon-final.pdf Get the tweets: @citycastdenver Get the newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/citycast/denver
