Amazon Is Trying to Stop a Lawsuit From Drivers Who Peed In Bottles From Going to Court

• https://www.vice.com by Jules Roscoe

Amazon is trying to stop a class action lawsuit by a group of Colorado delivery drivers about the "inhumane" conditions they face from going to court, the drivers' lawyers say. 

Drivers first filed the proposed class action lawsuit in Colorado in May because, they said, they have to pee in bottles and defecate in dog-waste bags, an "inhumane" consequence of Amazon's delivery performance requirements. One of the plaintiffs claimed that he had peed in a bottle "every day" working as an Amazon delivery driver. The lawsuit states that, "On a few occasions, while racing to perform deliveries and without easy access to a bottle or the ability to stop for long enough even to urinate in his van, [the plaintiff] has been on the verge of urinating and defecating in his pants."
