Amazon’s policies on safeguarding workers during the pandemic are being examined by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, according to a court filing.

The investigation was revealed Monday in the case of an employee who’s a picker in an Amazon grocery warehouse and who accused the company of not doing enough to protect staff, including sanitizing equipment and maintaining social distancing. A California state judge in San Francisco refused to grant the employee’s request to temporarily shut down the warehouse.
