amazon cages for workers
"Working conditions inside Amazon warehouses came under scrutiny earlier this year in "Hired," a book about low-wage work in the U.K. by journalist James Bloodworth, who worked undercover at one of the retailer's English warehouses.
He depicted a workplace where workers are treated like "robots," a claim that Amazon disputed: "Actually, robots are treated better," claims Jeff Bezos."

"Amazon, which has come under fire for treating warehouse workers "as robots," is now deflecting criticism for a 2016 patent that proposed to house workers in cages.
The patent was highlighted in a recent article by two AI researchers, who wrote that the design illustrated "an extraordinary illustration of worker alienation, a stark moment in the relationship between humans and machines."
