More claims have emerged about the pressure heaped on delivery drivers distributing packages for Amazon.
The ECHO recently reported on the case of Neil Martin, 46, who suffered a heart attack while working for an agency contracted to deliver packages for Amazon. Mr Martin had phoned his boss at Deva Logistics asking if someone could come and collect his packages as he was experiencing concerning symptoms including chest pains, dizziness and sweating.
However he claimed his boss said they could only spare a driver to collect half of Neil's remaining route, so the dad-of-two, from Prescot, felt he had no choice but to carry on working. Neil and his wife drove to Whiston Hospital after his shift where stunned doctors told him he had in fact suffered a heart attack and "could have died".
