Former construction company owner Mr McKinney (59), of Pro-Vita Ministries, said, “I was appalled and ashamed to see how this American company treated the Scottish workers. I had heard the stories and I found them to be true.
“The attitude of the workers there was ‘keep your head down and watch your back’. For example, there was a guy who had worked there for a while and he was getting some water. “I was talking to him when a supervisor came up and this guy ran out like a scared rabbit. I was thinking ‘That’s a grown man and he’s running from the girl?’” Amazon's giant facility - the size of 14 football pitches - was officially opened by First Minister Alex Salmond in 2011 with the support of millions of pounds of Scottish Government funding. |

He said he was quickly struck by basic problems such as poor quality company footwear and the extremely hot working conditions.
He went on, “The heat was atrocious. I asked ‘Can’t you get some fans in here?’ The supervisor just said, ‘You should be in here during the summer’. “I got really hot and it was difficult sometimes to even get water. There was times I had to walk to two or three different places just to find water. He added, “The footwear you had to put on was torture. Your feet would be killing you. It was excruciating pain. I felt my nerve endings were getting damaged. “There were people having to take pain-killers. They were getting them prescribed just to be able to withstand the pain. “I met a couple of guys who had been there for a while and they were saying they’d lost some of the feeling in their feet. Standing there for hours on end with the footwear that you have was horrific. |
