EXPOSED: Amazon's dystopian workplace conditions

With Amazon’s swelling fortune putting CEO Jeff Bezos’ net worth just over $100billion this weekend, as the online retailers’ Black Friday sales pushed its stock price up – this enormous wealth comes at a price. 

According to an investigation by The Mirror, Amazon warehouse workers have just nine seconds to process packages, work gruelling hours causing them to fall asleep on the job, and are constantly reminded that they're being supervised. 

The expose found that one worker had to be taken to hospital after collapsing on the job, whilst others have suffered from panic attacks.

A Mirror reporter spent five weeks at the firm’s newest warehouse in Tilbury, Essex, and used a secret camera - bought from Amazon’s own website – to record the chaos. He found staff asleep, exhausted after working up to 55 hours a week, whilst others slept in tents and under bridges to get to work on time.
