Description: Earnings of Amazon and its owner, Jeff Bezos, have skyrocketed during the pandemic, but at what cost to the health and safety of their employees? In The Fifth Estate’s Amazon unpacked: The human cost of convenience, we spoke to workers and delivery drivers who paint a picture of gruelling demands, little job security and Amazon’s hostility to unions. We also hear from people who worked at a warehouse in Brampton, Ont., that was temporarily shut down due to a COVID-19 outbreak who say protocols came late and didn’t keep them safe. #CBCFifthEstate #COVID19 #Amazon Subscribe for more videos from The Fifth Estate: bit.ly/25W8cpn Connect with The Fifth Estate online: Website : bit.ly/1d0FBxq Facebook : bit.ly/1UO9B8S Twitter : bit.ly/237VM8P Instagram : bit.ly/25W8SLs About The Fifth Estate: For four decades The Fifth Estate has been Canada's premier investigative documentary program.
