Amazon's preemptive move last week to stop New York state from taking legal action has failed.

亞馬遜上週阻止紐約州採取法律行動的先發制人行動已經失敗。

New York Attorney General Latisha James sued the online retailer over its handling of workers safety issues around the pandemic at two facilities.

紐約總檢察長拉蒂莎-詹姆斯起訴在線零售商在兩個設施處理工人安全問題的大流行前後。

In a complaint filed in a New York state court Tuesday, James said Amazon had not done enough to protect workers from the coronavirus at its fulfillment and distribution centers in two boroughs of New York City.

在週二向紐約州法院提交的一份申訴中，詹姆斯表示，亞馬遜在紐約市兩個區的履行和配送中心沒有采取足夠的措施保護工人免受冠狀病毒的侵害。

The suit said quote throughout the historic pandemic, Amazon has repeatedly and persistently failed to comply with its obligation to institute reasonable and adequate measures to protect its workers.

訴訟稱，報價在整個歷史性的大流行中，亞馬遜一再堅持不遵守其義務，沒有制定合理和充分的措施來保護其工人。

James also accused the company of illegal retaliation.

Last March, Amazon fired activists Christian Smalls, who had led a protest over conditions at the Staten Island warehouse.

去年3月，亞馬遜解僱了活動家Christian Smalls，他曾帶頭抗議斯塔頓島倉庫的條件。

He put others at risk by violating a company request to quarantine after coming into contact with a person who tested positive for Cove in 19.

他在19日與一名科夫檢測呈陽性的人接觸後，違反了公司的隔離要求，將他人置於危險之中。

In its lawsuit filed four days ago in federal court, Amazon said that federal labor and safety laws took precedence over New York's in addressing workplace safety and that James had overstepped her authority in response to the states lawsuit and Amazon spokeswoman said Quote.

亞馬遜在四天前向聯邦法院提起的訴訟中表示，在解決工作場所安全問題上，聯邦勞動和安全法優先於紐約的法律，詹姆斯在迴應各州的訴訟時越權，亞馬遜女發言人表示，報價。

We don't believe the attorney general's filing presents an accurate picture of Amazon's industry leading response to the pandemic.

我們不相信總檢察長的文件對亞馬遜行業領先的應對流行病的情況進行了準確的描述。

 The A G suit seeks to get Amazon to beef up its protection for workers, give Smalls back his job and pay damages to him and another worker who allegedly faced retaliation. 

A G訴訟案旨在讓亞馬遜加強對工人的保護，讓斯莫爾斯恢復工作，並向他和另一名據稱面臨報復的工人支付賠償金。
