Other than reporting on the conflicting claims, that would be difficult. A reporter would probably have to get a job in the warehouse. This wouldn't have been an important enough story for that, even in the old days before the web, and the great recession, hollowed out newsrooms.

According to earlier news coverage on the case:

Amazon.com spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman said workers now have "little or no wait" to get through the security screening.

Talking to reporters after the hearing, Thierman said that's because the company added security screeners when the appeals court ruled in the workers' favor.

Amazon warehouse workers do often try to find other jobs. Now that they face, once again, being unsure when they can get to the day care to pick up their child, the importance of following your advice increases. I hope alternative jobs for the unskilled increase at at least the same rate.
