McMillan Writes to Amazon Regarding Casual Staff

Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) has today (Wednesday) written to the Amazon depot in Inverclyde to seek assurances that no staff member will be left stranded during the night if their shift is cut short.

Mr McMillan was following up on reports from last winter which indicated agency staff had their shift cut short and had to wait till the morning for public transport in-order to get home.

Mr McMillan said;

"I was extremely disappointed to hear about the events at Amazon last winter when staff were let go during their shift without any suitable transport.

"This type of action was unhelpful and created needless issues between the employer and employees.

"Therefore, I have written to Amazon in Inverclyde to seek assurances that this practice will not happen this winter and that if shifts are cut short during the night then appropriate transport is made available to get staff home."
