Amazon Acknowledges Issue of Drivers Urinating in Bottles in Apology to Congressman
In Amazon’s apology to the US representative, they admitted to making amazon drivers pee in bottles because of how busy they are.

A democrat criticized Amazon by calling them out by saying, “Paying workers $15/hr doesn’t make you a ‘progressive workplace’ when you union-bust & make workers urinate in water bottles.” Amazon backed themselves up by tweeting a denial saying something along the lines of, you don’t really believe this, do you? Amazon soon admitted they were unhappy about this decision of theirs and that they owe an apology. This issue is worldwide and amazon workers need more respect.
