Amazon invites Ocasio-Cortez for Tour, Calls employee Claims Untrue

A senior Amazon.com INC executive on weekday disputed claims raised by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that Amazon employees face “dehumanizing conditions” as being untrue and invited her to take a tour of company facilities.

Ocasio-Cortez, a recently elected progressive Democrat who was an outspoken critic of the plans to find Amazon’s second headquarters in a new york town neighborhood close to her congressional district, asked on Twitter if Amazon’s culture of “strict performance” is “why Amazon employees have to urinate in bottles & work while on food stamps to meet ‘targets?’ Performance shouldn’t come at the price of dehumanizing conditions.”

She cited a September Newsweek story that raised those claims.
