Amazon acknowledged Friday that it has a download problem.
The web giant has assumed that its delivery drivers have limited access to bathrooms, which means that allegations of urination in bottles or other places in the public are probably true.
“We know that drivers can and have trouble finding toilets because of traffic or sometimes rural routes,” the online retail giant posted on the AboutAmazon portal. “And this was especially the case during Covid, when many public toilets were closed.”
Admission comes after a spit on Twitter together with Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.) Last month, in which the congressman accused Amazon of being an operation to steal unions that “will make workers urinate in water bottles.”
Amazon initially rejected the request.
“You don’t really think about peeing in bottles, do you?” the company responded on Twitter. “If it were true, no one would work for us.”
My fault Amazon admits that the initial answer was wrong.
“It did not contemplate our large population of drivers and, instead, focused wrongly only on our performance centers.
But the company added: “This is a long-term, industry-wide issue and is not specific to Amazon.”
No words on how Amazon will solve the problem, other than reporting “[we] will look for solutions. ”
