Multinational corporations like Amazon play important role in socio-economic development of the capitalist countries like the United States. The study aims to identify and analyze the problems and issues faced by the Amazon employees. It is found that the Amazon’s work environment consists of harsh working conditions, excessive productivity quotas, and screening methods that put its employees at risk with serious consequences for their safety and well-being. Guided by media testimonies and published reports, the work presents one of the first detailed and balanced reports of human rights issues at the Amazon. It is suggested that to protect workers’ rights the legislators and government agencies must develop and enforce robust workplace safety regulations. Also, by facilitating the Amazon workers form unions, a right granted by the International Labour Organization and the US Constitution, and guaranteeing the role of humans (and not machines) in employee terminations several human right issues can be resolved before reaching courts.
