Staff at Amazon say it pressured them to drop their trousers for a mass mooning photograph as a response to last weekend’s report in the Sunday Times about arduous working conditions at its Marston Gate warehouse in Bedfordshire.
Staff at the warehouse said managers claimed the idea of the photograph came from Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s American founder. One said: “The managers called everyone in and said they were going to have ‘a little bit of Christmas fun and light-hearted spirit’ in response to the article. It was to say ‘up yours to the papers’, that it was good working there and not as bad as it’s made out.”
