Immense Work Pressure
Many people working in the packaging complained about the exhausting and punishing work conditions. Furthermore, a recent addition to this system involved offering one-day shipping to Prime Customers which indeed was an unrealistic offer.
Working Conditions
The workers gradually came forward and started raising their voices not just against the work ethics but also about the working conditions as well. Many of them went on strikes too as the working place was too hot with no ventilation and the work environment was soul-crushing.
Minimal Wages
Not only the workers were upset about the working conditions but they were also being paid meagerly for their hard work. They were made to wear a tracking device always and also had to walk at least 15 miles during a shift.
Undeniable Incidents
Many incidents that came in light were startling for everyone. Due to work pressure, they hardly slept and because of that, there were incidents where people collapsed or they experienced certain medical problems that were fatal too.
Denying The Claims
As the story came in the eyes of numerous people the company denied most of the claims and tried escaping from the liability saying that the proofs were not sufficient and with the working force of thousands of employees they had never received any source of the complaint before. But the truth was yet to be discovered.
Revelations
After digging further, another company came in the light which was hidden behind the curtains until now. The company was Cordant Group PLC, the recruitment agency for Amazon, finally came forward and assured that actions will be taken if the allegations are true.
