Trade union GMB has reported a rise in serious injuries at Amazon UK sites. The multinational technology company recorded 231 serious injuries in 2019/20 rising to 294 in 2020/21. Amazon's site in Coalville had the highest number of injuries, reporting 95 over the last five years. Its Dunfermline site reported 93 and Manchester Sunbank Lane 87 in the same period. There have been over 1,000 serious injuries at Amazon UK sites since 2016. "More than a thousand serious injuries at Amazon sites is a shameful statistic and one that the company must address urgently - and the true picture is probably worse," GMB national officer Mick Rix said. "Our investigations have now built up years' worth of evidence and there can be no denying Amazon warehouses are currently dangerous, dehumanising places to work." |
