Unsafe Working Conditions at Amazon Facilities in India

Workers at Amazon's fulfillment centers in India face hazardous conditions, particularly during extreme heatwaves. One worker, Raja Singh, recounted how temperatures in northern India soared to triple digits, leading to many employees fainting while working on loading docks. Despite Amazon's claims that it maintains safe conditions and allows breaks during high temperatures, workers consistently reported feeling intense pressure to meet strict performance targets, often at the expense of their health. This relentless pace of work contributed to serious health issues, with some workers reporting the need to forgo restroom breaks to keep up with their quotas.
