Amazon is one of the most valuable public companies in the world, and the pandemic has boosted its profits even further.

But what about the people who deliver your Amazon parcel?

Delivery drivers have told Newsnight demand during the pandemic has meant they are delivering up to 75% more parcels a day with no extra pay.

They reported no bathroom breaks, being on shift for over 10 hours a day and feeling pressure to drive unsafely in order to keep up with targets monitored by an app.

Is our convenience worth the price?

Newsnight鈥檚 Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports.

A spokesperson from Amazon told 蜜芽传媒 Newsnight: 鈥淎t Amazon, we鈥檙e proud to go further than most to ensure drivers are supported in their role. Our sophisticated guidance technology plans delivery routes, advises when to take a break, and ensures that drivers aren鈥檛 receiving and driving with too many packages.鈥�
