Amazon to Build Fulfillment Center in Arkansas

Amazon's new fulfillment center in North Little Rock will create hundreds of new full-time jobs and give the company faster delivery times in the region.
The U.S. Department of Labor today announced that its Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Amazon for failing to keep workers safe, and has issued hazard alert letters after inspections at three warehouse facilities – in Deltona, Florida; Waukegan, Illinois; and New Windsor, New York – after finding workers exposed to ergonomic hazards.
