>The article mentions an Amazon policy to always call an ambulance when they find a medical issue.

True...there's a difference between having a policy and it being enforced, though. The article also contains a quote from a union organiser who seemed to cast doubt on that "We know from our members in Amazon warehouses that first-aiders are actively discouraged from ringing ambulances – instead told to take taxis"

I know I'm not coming from a neutral place here...I detest Amazon utterly, but I have been around too many large companies for too long to know that the "policy we quote" vs the "behaviour we enforce" are two entirely different things.

I got injured at work (not at amazon) once (required surgery and I have chronic pain as a result).

I opted to have a coworker drive me to the hospital while I was bleeding rather than wait for an ambulance.

In my situation, it would be 10 minutes for an ambulance, 10 minutes to the hospital versus 10-15 minutes directly to the hospital…
