Of course all drivers of every big Company are tagged.
Ch4 news showed a (non thin)amazon UK worker young lady
who had a 30mins break but it took her 15mins to get down
then end of the Massive UK Building.
I would put a electric fast rail in for non thin workers
to get to lunch in seconds.

"Toilet breaks for staff working under the contracts at Amazon are timed"
Zee make sure you have bananas
and bran - then you will be short time in the bog
:laugh: fair enough trying to crack down on time wasters

It might be life but its far from a happy secure working life that everyone wants and needs is it?
The unskilled UK workforce will be reduced to mere rats on a wheel, if you can't keep up the momentum you're out.
Community cohesion? nobody cares about that... Outside the capital nobody exists to those in Westminster.
There's a big amazon depot near me, and it's currently under investigation regarding working conditions.

So not only do they avoid tax, they treat their workers like dirt with no income at times, and expect them to work in a sweatshop basically. How lovely.

Not if they work hard
and get to the cafe and back in time.
Its what Amazon do all over the world.
In USA
they get 4 bucks less than the min. wage of 14bucks a hour
but are happy to have jobs

I'm sorry you don't like my analogy but that's basically what it boils down to, i'm well aware of that thankyou the UK was the factory of the world making those cogs since the industrial revolution.... What happened?
There needs to be a shift from industrial to natural capitalism.

Pretty much sounds like Slave Labour to me, these practices sound like they should be completely illegal.
