MORE than 600 warehouse workers at anti-union online retailer Amazon have suffered serious injuries or near misses at work in the last three years, according to an investigation by the GMB.
The union says that working conditions at the notorious firm are getting worse and has called for a parliamentary inquiry.
Using freedom of information legislation, GMB found that 622 reports of incidents were made from Amazon warehouses to the government’s Health & Safety Executive (HSE) between 2016 and 2019, with the number rising each year.
