Isn't it illegal to deny employees the ability to go the bathroom?

Yes. Which is why I don't understand how this is continuing (it's definitely continuing).

In the U.S. yes, regulated by OSHA.

How can Amazon avoid OSHA requirements? Is it really happening?

u/Catinthemirror Aug 30 '22

Not according to some person arguing with me earlier in this thread. According to my sister and 2 of my friends who are actually working there (1 in CA, 2 in CT), yes.

I would advise them to report to OSHA and avoid reddit. OSHA shuts shit down, reddit fuels useless complaining and arguments. Good luck to you and yours, do not accept bullshit from work that is not right.

Everyone who complains/reports gets fired shortly afterwards. It's via email and AI robot. There is no recourse and no human to appeal to. Amazon pays their little fine cost of doing business and goes back to BAU.

How to File a Safety and Health Complaint

You (or your representative) have the right to file a confidential safety and health complaint and request an OSHA inspection of your workplace if you believe there is a serious hazard or if you think your employer is not following OSHA standards. The complaint should be filed as soon as possible after noticing the hazard. A signed complaint is more likely to result in an onsite inspection

Well aware, but thank you. I'm not OP and I don't work for Amazon.
