[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4799613, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/mar/11/amazon-delivery-drivers-bathroom-breaks-unions'][B]14-hour days and no bathroom breaks: Amazon's overworked delivery drivers - The Guardian[/B][/URL] [B] Drivers report being underpaid and having to urinate in bottles in their vehicles to keep up with delivery rates[/B] James Meyers worked as a driver for several [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/technology/amazon']Amazon[/URL] delivery service providers in Austin, Texas, for about one year until he quit in October 2020 citing the immense workloads and poor working conditions. Fourteen-hour shifts were common because delivery service providers wouldn’t allow drivers to return any packages from their routes and the pressure to meet delivery rates meant Meyers used a plastic bottle to go to the bathroom on a daily basis. “I saw no effort on Amazon’s part to push delivery service providers to allow their drivers to use the restroom on a normal human basis, leading many, myself included, to urinate inside bottles for fear of slowing down our delivery rates,” Meyers said.
