Why would the giant of ecommerce and trading skimp and fail its employee duties for the sake of a few £thousand? Makes no sense.
Seems more likely that the culture of compensation claiming in the in the USA is to blame here. Lot's of people trying it on because they know Amazon is a giant. Like taking MacDonalds to court over an overly hot apple pie.
Mike Yevtuck is one person mentioned in that article. He is pretty famous as an activist against the "Hell's Angel's" gangs, just Google him. He gets in plenty of articles.
Shannon Allen was 49 according to the article. I'm a little over that and I wouldn't dream of doing a job involving the constant lifting of parcels. Just silly.
I would expect a giant like Amazon to have strict party lines on this kind of thing so always going to be a stern employer but equally the USA is where all the Compo Claim culture began so I would guess that these kind of claims are a regular occurrence there.
The UK has its share of Compo Claimers too. People claiming disability, injury, compensation and benefits and then get secretly filmed out playing golf and lifting heavy objects.
It's a dog eat dog world.
