A disabled warehouse worker says he was bullied and abused. A jury ordered to Amazon to pay him $1.2 million
LA TimesPeople work in the Amazon Fulfillment Center in San Bernardino. A jury awarded the worker, Michael Kopp, $1.2 million earlier this month after finding that Amazon intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the former employee when its human resources department failed to stop the harassment. Kopp, who has Asperger’s and dyslexia, was hired as a “warehouse associate” at Amazon’s Fulfillment Center in San Bernardino in Oct. 2015. But his time at the company was also tainted with abuse, Babaian said, including verbal insults from co-workers and an employee who would throw boxes in Kopp’s direction. But according to the complaint, Kopp alleged the warehouse “seemed to operate much like a high school bullying the disabled kid.” After multiple incidents, Babaian said Kopp asked an assistant manager for help and filed a two-page complaint with the human resources department, detailing several of the incidents of harassment.
