An Amazon.com Inc warehouse collapse on the night of Dec 10 that killed at least six people has amplified concerns among its blue collar workforce about the return of the Internet retailer’s mobile phone ban in work areas.
The warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois, near St. Louis, was reduced to rubble when a string of tornadoes ripped through six US states, leaving a trail of destruction that stretched more than 200 miles. Emergency responders expect recovery efforts to continue into next week.
