- A British union has highlighted working conditions at Amazon warehouses over Christmas with a satirical whack-a-mole-style game.
- The game was created by the GMB union, one of the biggest workers’ unions in the UK.
- The game makes the player furiously click on packages while showing pop-up messages which refer to damning media and GMB reports about Amazon’s working practices.
- Amazon responded that if people want to find out what it’s like to work in its warehouses they are welcome to take a tour, rather than play a “fictitious computer game.”
