Amazon is apologizing to U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan after directing an âincorrectâ tweet at the Black Earth Democrat last week about whether employees of the online retail behemoth need to use bottles to relieve themselves.
Last week â as an attempt to unionize an Amazon warehouse in Alabama was underway â Pocan responded on Twitter to an Amazon executive who called the business a âprogressive workplace,â arguing Amazon engages in union-busting and makes âworkers urinate in water bottles.â
In response to Pocanâs comment, a tweet from one of Amazonâs Twitter accounts said: âYou donât really believe the peeing in bottles thing, do you? If that were true, nobody would work for us.â
