    I worked as an Amazon driver for almost a year it's the same story, I had to deliver almost 400+ parcels a day 6 days a week and was financially penalised if I was falling behind or couldn't complete a route. My DSP even tried to make me do illegal things just so they could make their delivery rate. I'm now part of a collective claim against my former DSP and Amazon. Warehouse workers are well within their rights to do what is necessary to stop this company from taking liberties.

I'm lucky to be done with it but worst experience of my life.

    Here's the thing how can ANY organisation legally record videos promoting a false working culture? Seems like a trade descriptions act issue?

    And you better get some reps then. Because it's a hard job to do and you don't get paid. It takes over your home life and work life. They won't do anything for you till you've paid into it for three months and you need to understand your money is going straight to a political groups pocket. The NHS will already have it lawyers working on insuring staff never get on over them by producing more if their own policy and procedures to contract any new law. 3000 new policies. An NHS rep suffer the worst legislation to go against and don't forget you employer think your against them to as their ignorant of what a rep does. You have to be a councilor on top people bring their emotions with them. So remember your rep get nothing in pay to represent you even at a level five qualification.
