'Working conditions are hell': Amazon employees not surprised its warehouses have seen hundreds of COVID cases

 


'There is no social distancing, there is no sanitation,' said one worker. 'Many of them, 99 per cent of them, are scared of working there, but they have no choice'Crowded work spaces that make social distancing all but impossible. Minimal personal protective equipment. Little information about infections. And a high-pressure work culture that discourages speaking out.


For one current and one former employee of Amazon Canada’s frenetically busy warehouses, and a worker advocate, the word that the facilities have seen hundreds of COVID-19 cases is no shock.
