Description
This interview explores the history of the warehousing industry using Andrea and her family as a focal point for the development of the industry. She discusses her family’s experience, including the injuries and incredibly difficult periods of time where her mom had to live in parking lots, going between one warehouse and the next, and attempts to come to a conclusion of whether the experiences were worth the pain or not. Andrea also describes the climate of the warehousing industry when her parents became involved and the changes which have occurred over the years when they have been working. Additionally, there is some discussion of large corporations like Amazon and Ring and their influence in the industry. The interview concludes with a discussion of how the industry could be improved and steps that could be taken to ensure greater workplace safety for workers, as well as a brief overview of the environmental impact of the trucking and warehouse distribution industry.
