Climate of fear & ‘injuries’ plague Amazon warehouse employees
The “excessively rapid work pace” in the company’s warehouses, surveillance and disciplinary procedures have created a dangerous working environment, staff allege.
“I have not had a single day that I haven’t been an absolute sobbing mess because of the stress Amazon continues to put me through,” one former worker fighting for compensation and paid medical leave for an injured knee told The Guardian.
A recently published report found Amazon’s injury rates were 80% higher than the industry average for serious injuries in 2020.
