The apology came after a Democratic lawmaker last month condemned Amazon’s working conditions and union-busting efforts.
Amazon issued an apology on Friday to Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., after mocking his claim that the company’s drivers are sometimes forced to urinate in bottles during delivery rounds as a result of the demands of the job. „We know that drivers can and do have trouble finding restrooms because of traffic or sometimes rural routes, and this has been especially the case during Covid when many public restrooms have been closed,“ the company wrote in a blog post. The apology came after the Democratic lawmaker last month condemned Amazon’s working conditions and union-busting efforts. Approximately 5,800 workers at Amazon’s warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, are awaiting an upcoming union vote, which is set to begin on Tuesday.
