Amazon warehouse workers protested outside of the company’s NYC corporate offices on Wednesday to bring attention to what organizers are calling a human rights issue. The poor working conditions suffered by Amazon warehouse employees include unpredictable shifts that change daily, being forced to stand for ten hours with no breaks, and low wages. Although efforts to organize amazon workers have been unsuccessful so far, the drivers of this campaign want to make consumers aware of the costs that convenient online shopping comes at to workers.
