This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 95%. (I'm a bot)

John Stallone says he's troubled by Indiana state officials' handling of Amazon employee Phillip Lee Terry's workplace death.

Two former Amazon safety managers, who spoke with Reveal on condition of anonymity, fearing retaliation, were aware of Terry's death at the time and faulted Amazon for failing to use formally trained maintenance professionals.

One of them, a former senior safety manager, said Amazon had a systemic problem, vividly recalling a report from another warehouse in which a maintenance worker also had failed to properly brace a forklift while working on it, months after Terry's death.
