An Amazon delivery driver says he was told by a boss at the agency through which he was employed to finish his shift after suffering symptoms that later turned out to be a heart attack.
Dad-of-two Neil Martin, 46, experienced chest pains, dizziness and cold sweats while behind the wheel of his van at around 2pm on March 16. Neil, from Prescot, had started his shift by picking up his assignment of packages at the Amazon depot in Knowsley, and began his route that day delivering in the Wigan area.
Beginning to worry about his strange symptoms, Neil, who is subcontracted to Amazon via an agency called Deva Logistics, decided he should go to hospital to get checked out. After attempting to phone the Deva office and getting no answer, Neil sent a text message explaining his predicament.
