"Spanish drivers hired to deliver Amazon parcels in UK take legal action over pay,"

A group of drivers hired in Spain and brought to the UK to deliver Amazon packages to British households in the run-up to Christmas are taking legal action against the company and one of its subcontractors.

The drivers claim the subcontractor promised them earnings of more than £100 a day, free housing, van rental, insurance and free return flights via an online meeting in Spanish...

“The remaining 11 were engaged for a period of between four and six weeks and a total of £22,053 of damage was caused to the vehicles issued...” ...

Amazon denied it was involved in any wrongdoing and said it was committed to fair treatment for those employed by its subcontractors. “We are committed to ensuring that the people contracted by our independent delivery providers are fairly compensated and treated with respect. We have been made aware of the issue and are investigating,” it said...
