workplace health hazards, and being required to work more hours without getting bonuses. The industrial action coincides with Prime Day, which offers special deals to Amazon customers over 36 hours. It also comes as Bezos’s worth rose to $152 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Amazon has been criticized for its treatment of workers for years. Employees reportedly suffer from poor conditions like dehydration from a lack of air conditioning and busy schedules that leave little room for bathroom breaks, forcing some workers to urinate in bottles. Meanwhile, critics point out, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world and makes around 140 times more than the average Amazon employee.
Amazon Prime Day runs until midnight on the night of Tuesday, July 17 (3 AM ET). This year's event is expected to beat all previous years' records; last year's Prime Day generated an estimated $1 billion in sales.
