In lawsuits, books and media reports, drivers have repeatedly said that they resort to urinating in bottles, bushes and coffee cups because the number of packages they need to deliver, or else risk termination, leaves them no time to find a restroom.
"The lack of rest and meal breaks was part of the culture for Amazon delivery drivers," said Seattle driver Henry Abreu in the lawsuit."It was just the way it was. Amazon assigned us a certain number of packages that we were required to deliver in the time allotted by Amazon and according to Amazon's instructions.
Though they wear Amazon uniforms and drive trucks with its branding, most of the US drivers delivering Amazon orders likely work for one of the nearly 2,000 third-party delivery services Amazon has contracted to get its packages to customers' doorsteps. All told, more than 400,000 contract or self-employed drivers deliver goods for Amazon.
"Amazon had final say on hire and fire. Amazon set our metrics. Amazon set our routes. At one point, Amazon was loading our vans for us. But we were told over and over again that we were not Amazon employees."
