Even worst than the L.A. Casino in terms of gap

What's a "$500,000" fine to Amazon. Jeff Bezos probably loses more than that just pooping in the bathroom because time is money  . Their profit far outweigh the fine IMO  :

California's AG said Amazon left warehouse workers 'in the dark' about COVID-19 cases. Now the tech giant is paying the state $500,000.


California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Monday that Amazon had failed to keep workers and authorities fully updated on how many COVID-19 cases it had detected in its workplaces, and that the tech giant had agreed to pay $500,000 as part of a settlement.

Amazon "failed to adequately notify warehouse workers and local health agencies of COVID-19 case numbers, often leaving them in the dark and unable to effectively track the spread of the virus," Bonta's office said in a press release. Under a California law passed in September 2020, employers must tell workers and local authorities about COVID-19 case numbers.

Bonta's original complaint, from earlier in November, said Amazon's notification system was insufficient. It notified workers to new cases, but did not specify how many new cases there were, per the complaint. Bonta's complaint also said that in some cases Amazon failed to send a notification to workers within one business day.

Amazon will pay $500,000 towards "further enforcement of California's consumer protection laws" as part of the settlement, Bonta's press release said.
