Amazon workers pee into bottles out of fear of being punished for taking bathroom breaks

Amazon may be owned by the world’s richest man, but some employees at the company pee into bottles to avoid missing their targets by going to the toilet, says an author who went undercover at the firm’s UK warehouse.

According to James Bloodworth, who applied for a job at Amazon’s warehouses in Staffordshire to complete his book on low wages in the UK, the workers “picking” products for delivery do not go to toilet, as it is too far away.
