Union sues Amazon delivery firms over driver rights

Amazon said its delivery providers were "Contractually obligated" to pay drivers minimum wage. The union said that drivers for the three firms were paid per parcel delivered and faced issues that fully employed workers did not, despite performing very similar duties. "Companies like Amazon and their delivery companies can't have it both ways - they can't decide they want all of the benefits of having an employee, but refuse to give those employees the pay and rights they're entitled to," he said. Amazon said its delivery firms were expected to pay drivers a minimum of £12 an hour, "Follow all applicable laws and driving regulations and drive safely". BBC investigations over the last two years have found that drivers for Amazon delivery agencies regularly worked "Illegal" hours and received less than the minimum wage.
