Workers use equipment to remove a section of roof left on a heavily damaged Amazon fulfillment center in Edwardsville, Illinois. Photo: Jeff Roberson (AP) Amazon delivery drivers across the Midwest were faced with horrifying choices last week: Keep driving and delivering packages amid blaring tornado warnings or risk being fired. Text messages viewed by Bloomberg show the agonizing dilemma that Amazon workers faced amid Friday’s deadly tornado outbreak . In the thread, a driver contacting their dispatcher tells them about a tornado warning sounding. In response, the dispatcher told the driver to “Just keep driving.” Around 40 minutes later, the driver sent a follow-up text saying they were hearing tornado sirens all around them. “Just keep delivering for now,” the dispatcher responded. “We have to wait for word from Amazon. If we need to bring people back, the decision will ultimately be up to them.” Fearing the tornado would turn their van into a “casket,” the driver asked to return to the facility and shelter, only to be told doing so could lead to their termination. “If you decide to return with your packages, it will be viewed as you refusing your route, which will ultimately end with you not having a job come tomorrow morning,” the dispatcher said. “The sirens are just a warning.” The driver was reportedly about 30 miles (48 kilometers) away from Amazon’s Edwardsville, Illinois, warehouse , which was decimated by one of the tornadoes that ripped through six states.
