Allegations trafficking workers in Saudi Arabia

Amazon, one of the world’s largest corporations, is facing allegations of involvement in trafficking workers in Saudi Arabia. These alarming accusations shed light on the treatment of migrant workers in the Middle East and raise serious concerns about Amazon’s labour practices in the region.
Passport confiscation, unpaid wages, poor living conditions, excessive working hours, and limited mobility are some of the distressing aspects of their ordeal, as they are often left powerless and vulnerable.
Amazon’s connection to these allegations stems from its reliance on third-party suppliers and logistics providers in Saudi Arabia. While Amazon has asserted its commitment to labour rights in its supply chain, critics argue that the company’s oversight and enforcement mechanisms are insufficient. This has led to calls for Amazon to take more substantial action in investigating and addressing these allegations.
