That is a BS fine. That is a rounding error for an hour of operation. They willfully endanger their employees and should be fined a percentage of gross profit, no other way they will have incentive to not harm their employees.

And they're going to fight it. A literally insignificant slap on the wrist, and they're still going to the wall. Burn amazon down.

Of course they're going to fight it, courts operate on precedence...imagine if this stood how many other suits would come to the fold, even at 14k a piece it would show someone can at least fight against megacorps.
