GMB says staff at distribution centres across UK under pressure to be 'above-average Amazon robots', in wake of US revelations

Staff at Amazon's UK operation have developed physical and mental illnesses because of the "regimes" they work under, the GMB trade union has warned.

Employees at the online retailer's distribution centres across the UK were under pressure to be an "above-average Amazon robot", the GMB's lead officer for Amazon, Elly Baker, told the Times.
