According to the Guardian, Amazon denied reports that its delivery workers were forced to urinate in bottles due to lack of access to bathrooms. A leaked internal memo shows the company has been aware of the problem for at least several months.
In May 2020 a leaked email to employees states:
“This evening, an associate discovered human feces in an Amazon bag that was returned to station by a driver,” the email reads. “This is the 3rd occasion in the last 2 months when bags have been returned to station with poop inside. We understand that DA’s [driver associates] may have emergencies while on-road, and especially during Covid, DAs have struggled to find bathrooms while delivering. Regardless, DAs cannot, MUST NOT, return bags to station with poop inside.”
“We’ve noticed an uptick recently of all kinds of unsanitary garbage being left inside bags: used masks, gloves, bottles of urine.”
