That is pretty good, just wish the BBC wrote a better article and ended with suggestions on who to contact regarding wage theft & how to organize to fight back against it, instead of ending the article with the Amazon contractor saying your free to quit at any time.

There were a number of similar reports about Uber before a court recently ruled that Uber drivers are legally employees, not self-employed contractors.
