Amazon India staff on working conditions: Made to stand for hours, restroom breaks not allowed

Amazon’s warehouse and delivery workers in India alleged inhuman practices at its facilities. Four out of five warehouse workers reported that their work targets are ‘very difficult’ to achieve while some even alleged that they are not being allowed enough time to take restroom breaks or financial assistance for work-related injuries. The survey conducted by UNI Global Union in partnership with the Amazon India Workers Association (AIWA) had 1,838 participants who alleged dire working conditions at Amazon’s facilities in India.

Of the total participants, 21.3 per cent of the workers and delivery executives said that they faced ‘unsafe’ working conditions.
