Police called to remove union officials from Amazon warehouse in Sydney

The Transport Workers Union said it was investigating reports that Amazon Flex workers' cars were dangerously overloaded

An Amazon warehouse in western Sydney called the police to remove two union officials investigating allegations of workers' cars being overpacked during its busy Back Friday sales period.

The Transport Workers' Union sent three officials to Amazon Flex's Bella Vista parcel pickup facility on Friday, with two of them tasked with going onsite to investigate reports of alleged dangerous overloading of vehicles. They believed workers were being pressured to accept the parcels to avoid disciplinary action or termination.
