Indian Amazon workers allege mistreatment, heat-related illness, and unenforced breaks during a severe heat wave.
Amazon workers in India, particularly in the Manesar facility, allege mistreatment and overwork during a severe heat wave from April to June. Employees report fainting, lack of water and toilet breaks, and pressure from management to meet targets. Amazon claims to comply with local laws and provide adequate breaks, but workers assert these measures weren't enforced. India's National Human Rights Commission has intervened following reports of workers being pressured regarding breaks.
