GMB tells shareholders that warehouse workers endure targets that cause suffering

Trade unions are lobbying City investors to put pressure on Amazon to improve conditions for its workers in the UK.

At a meeting at the TUC's head office this month the GMB union made presentations, including one from an Amazon employee, to a dozen leading fund managers and pension funds that own stakes in Amazon including Legal & General, Baillie Gifford and Aberdeen Standard.
