Amazon accused of dumping casuals in middle of the night

Britain’s biggest online retailer has been criticised for cutting short the shifts of casual staff in the middle of the night.

Some workers have had to wait at the giant Amazon warehouse near Gourock, in Inverclyde, until public transport resumes in the morning, even though they are not being paid.

Amazon has admitted cutting short the shifts of agency staff without any notice at the warehouse.
