Amazon drivers brought to the UK to deliver Amazon packages are taking legal action against the company, saying they were not paid. “After working for 5 weeks, they only paid me £200”

Exclusive: Some of the drivers say they were not paid in full and in some cases billed thousands for vehicle damage

A group of drivers hired in Spain and brought to the UK to deliver Amazon packages to British households in the run-up to Christmas are taking legal action against the company and one of its subcontractors. Diego Martin Baglietto says he noticed he had received only £450 by the 25th day he had worked after being told pay would be weeklyUVW claims the events are an automatic confirmation of unfair dismissal. UVW contends that the drivers were classified as subcontractors operating on a self-employed basis, but because of the nature of their relationship with One Motion they should have been classed as workers, according to the Employment Rights Act 1996.
