Amazon have a very large warehouse in Rugeley and although all jobs in Staffordshire are welcome, trade unions including the GMB have raised concerns about working practices and wages. Channel 4 had a report about this last August which can be viewed here. A petition asking Amazon to pay its workers the living wage in 2014 can be seen, signed and shared here.
Other concerns about Amazon concern their tax arrangements and information about a campaign to boycott the company unless they change their practices, with alternative booksellers, is here.
A further suggested alternative is Hive. They will deliver to local independent bookshops as a way to support them while still having the choice that an online store offers.
