If she told you there were sharks with lasers on their heads would you have believed that too? The article is literally unbelievable.

No, but if multiple workers at multiple locations said the same thing, then it is more believable:

>"I was really upset and I said, 'All you people care about is the rates, not the well-being of the people,' " she said. "I've never worked for an employer that had paramedics waiting outside for people to drop because of the extreme heat."

There were so many reports of workers overheating that OSHA had to get involved: https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-allentown-amazon-comp...

That, along with other conditions reported, make it a literal sweatshop.
