VICEさんのインスタグラム写真 - (VICEInstagram)「Although skyrocketing quotas have made conditions for Amazon’s roughly 75,000 delivery drivers grueling and dangerous, the plight of these workers has largely been overshadowed by that of Amazon’s warehouse workforce, which has understandably received loads of attention from the mainstream news outlets during the Covid-19 pandemic.⁠ ⁠ Delivery drivers have been sidelined, at least in part, because many of them aren’t even employed by Amazon. In addition to UPS and the US Postal service, the e-commerce giant relies on at least 800 companies, known as “delivery service partners,” to manage the roughly 75,000 drivers who deliver its packages, according to data from late 2019. These workers are technically employed by small companies with no name recognition. But Amazon still retains control over their working conditions. Quotas and routes are often determined by Amazon, and Amazon software surveills daily progress. Drivers wear Amazon-emblazoned shirts, and many drive vans marked with Amazon’s corporate logo. Amazon also mandates that its delivery service partners operate no more than 40 vans and employ between 40 and 100 workers.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio.⁠ 🎨 @cathrynvirginia ⁠ 📸 Getty⁠」7月2日 1時20分
