Amazon denies ‘urine bottle’ tales, faces ‘proof’ from staff on Twitter – Times of India

Amazon took to Twitter to disclaim allegations that its staff don’t get time to take lavatory breaks and are sometimes compelled to pee in soda or water bottles. The work strain at warehouses, supply models and different assist divisions are claimed to be a lot that staff have now began to speak about brazenly on social media.
Defending these claims of exploitative working circumstances, Amazon stated, “You don’t really believe the peeing in bottles thing, do you? If that were true, nobody would work for us.” Amazon stated this in a reply to a tweet by Rep. Mark Pocan during which he stated, “Paying workers $15/hr doesn’t make you a “progressive workplace” when you union-bust & make workers urinate in water bottles.”

But quickly after Amazon’s tweet, staff, journalists and other people conscious of the claimed work circumstances hit again by posting footage of urine bottles as proof.

Buzzfeed reporter Ken Bensinger posted pictures of ‘instruction sheets’ from Amazon which demanded drivers take their trash with them from the supply van after their shift ends and curiously, the foundations talked about that they should get rid of urine bottles too.

The state of affairs is so unhealthy that staff are claiming that they’re getting Urinary tract infections resulting from zero lavatory breaks. One employee claimed, “For the record I’ve never peed anywhere , on the job, besides in the back of my van in a coffee cup. It’s the only reason I buy a hit drink every morning before shift. They know. They don’t care.”
