(Fargo, ND) -- A new report says Minnesota's Amazon facilities have high injury rates and racial pay gaps.  

The report was released Wednesday by the National Employment Law Project. Workers at the Atwood Center assisted with the report, which calls for an investigation into health and safety hazards at the facilities. The report also documented large pay gaps by race at the retail giant's Shakopee facilities.  

The fulfillment center also had a much higher rate of injuries when compared to other Minnesota industries.
