【美国】亚马逊的工作人员每周工作55个小时，疲惫的以至于他们可以“站着睡着”

Amazon workers working 55-hour weeks and so exhausted by targets they 'fall asleep standing up'

Amazon workers are so exhausted by long hours and relentless targets they are falling asleep on their feet, according to a new investigation.

Employees reportedly had timed toilet breaks and some were made to do compulsory overtime, meaning some were working a 55-hour week ahead of the Christmas period.

Pictures taken by an undercover reporter captured workers asleep standing up as they reportedly had to process a parcel every 30 seconds.

Sunday Mirror reporter Alan Selby spent five weeks working at the online shop's warehouse in Essex and finished his last shift on Black Friday.

A number of workers who could not cope with the relentless targets were attended to by ambulance crews after they collapsed on the job, the investigation found.

The reporter was told to pack 120 items an hour, although that target is set to rise to 200 items. Workers are paid £8.20 an hour.

根据一项新的调查显示，亚马逊的工作人员因为长时间工作的疲惫以及达成工作目标而疲于奔命。

据报道，员工不得不在卫生间休息，有些人被强制要求加班，也就是说有些人在圣诞节前一周工作了近55个小时。

一名地下记者拍摄了一组照片，里面显示工人们睡着了，因为他们据说每隔30秒就要处理一个包裹。

"星期日镜报"记者Alan Selby在艾塞克斯的网上商店仓库工作了五周，并在黑色星期五完成了最后一班工作。

调查发现，那些达不到苛刻目标的人都在工作瘫痪后，被医疗救护人员带走。

记者被告知工人们需要每小时打包120件物品，但调查显示这个目标定为200件。而工人们的工资则为每小时工资为8.20英镑。
