Mustafa Omar empezó a trabajar en Amazon en 2016, pero lo dejó en 2017 y volvió en 2018, y ha trabajado allí durante los últimos tres años. Recoge y carga artículos que pesan hasta 80 libras, normalmente trabajando en seis o siete estaciones diferentes. Ha sufrido dolores de espalda debido a los movimientos repetitivos y al levantamiento de objetos pesados que implica su trabajo.

A principios de noviembre de 2021, Omar se cayó sobre un palé y se lesionó la espalda. Hizo señas a un alto directivo para que cubriera su puesto y pudiera ir a Amcare. Omar dice que se sintió en apuros cuando pidió al encargado que le llevara a la clínica, donde le dieron hielo e ibuprofeno.

Todos queremos volver a casa sanos y salvos, y cuando la gente se lesiona, debe ser atendida Mustafa Omar

“En este momento, estoy pensando ‘Dios mío, si digo que tengo una lesión, que me he hecho daño, podría perder mi trabajo’. Porque ya me inculcaron el miedo de ser yo quien se metiera en problemas. Pienso en mi familia, en mi mujer embarazada, en mis hijos, en todas las facturas que tengo y me preocupa no poder trabajar porque soy el sostén de mi casa”, dice Omar.

Una vez en Amcare, restó importancia al dolor que sentía para que le enviaran de vuelta al trabajo y siguió trabajando durante unas semanas mientras acudía a Amcare unas dos veces al día a por hielo e ibuprofeno. Al final no pudo soportar más el dolor y visitó a su propio médico, que le recomendó fisioterapia, analgésicos y trabajo ligero.

Cuando llevó los formularios de su médico a Amazon, Omar dice que le dijeron que no podía asistir a la fisioterapia recomendada porque no estaba aprobada. Aún está a la espera de que Amazon apruebe el tratamiento médico y apruebe y abone su indemnización por accidente laboral.

“Todavía me duele”, añade Omar. “Todos queremos volver a casa sanos y salvos, y cuando la gente se lesiona, deben ser tratados como seres humanos y atendidos”.
