Amazon apologises for wrongly denying drivers need to urinate in bottles

Amazon has apologised to a US politician for falsely denying that drivers are, at times, forced to urinate in plastic bottles.

Mark Pocan, a Democrat from Wisconsin, had criticised Amazon for opposing efforts by workers to unionise a major facility in Alabama.

 "Paying workers $15/hr doesn't make you a 'progressive workplace' when you union-bust & make workers urinate in water bottles," he wrote last week.
