Workers Denied Food & Washroom Breaks At Amazon India

A shocking and inhumane violation of labour laws has come to the light from Amazon India warehouses in Haryana. Several employees have alleged that they have been asked to not take any kind of breaks until they have reached their targets.

The exploitation came to everyone’s attention after the workers decided to speak up against the atrocities. The management has asked to take an oath to not take any kind of break until they reach their goals. The workers explained that the women employees got it the worst because they need to unload 40-60 products per hour and the summer heat tires them quicker than the male employees. Yet none can take a minute to relax.

As soon as the news hit the internet, an Amazon India spokesperson came out to clarify that they are investigating the claims and that they would never ask such things from their employees.

If the claims are true then it should be dealt in the strictest manner because these big corporations hire people at low salaries and exploit them as far as they could just because a low-wage employee would not speak up.

This needs to change and the concerned authorities need to take this seriously so that no employer can ever do that in future.
