It meant workers operated a “toilet bottle” system.
Mr Bloodworth said: “People just peed in bottles because they lived in fear of being disciplined over ‘idle time’ and losing their jobs just because they needed the loo.”
He said the warehouse in Rugeley, Staffs, is like a prison with airport-style security scanners where workers are checked and patted down in case they steal.
Hoodies and sunglasses were banned along with mobile phones as a security measure, he said.
An Amazon spokesman said: "Amazon ensures all of its associates have easy access to toilet facilities which are just a short walk from where they are working.
"Amazon provides a safe and positive workplace for thousands of people across the UK with competitive pay and benefits from day one.
"We have a focus on ensuring we provide a great environment for all our employees and last month Amazon was named by LinkedIn as the 7th most sought after place to work in the UK and ranked first place in the US."

Let the Washington Post run an editorial on this.
Gee whiz! What are they going to complain about next?
Employee pee time hurts the bottom line. You can be human on your own time. /s
Sounds like a BS story...if they are watched every minute...
Years ago Rush had one on urine bottles along the roads in Maine..
I can see that happening..the guy can not be seen..
A trucker called and said Maine was the worst place because lack of rest stops..
Welcome to The Jungle.
And this is why I’m happy that I chose an actual degree with actual use instead of ‘gender studies.’
I would guess they don’t take the time to wash their hands after urinating either.
Seems like management would just catheterize them
and save even more time!
Don't order the Yellow Wine.
You can buy a bottle at Whole Foods for $8.99.
Ugh. So the next package I get from Amazon....
That way they could drug test them everyday!
With a tube to their stomaches, they could cut out
lunch breaks and add stimulants at the same time!
Doubt if it is BS but could be there. However. Just check your local shopping center islands, bushes, and medians or along highway medians - there are lots of bottles with urine in them. Not a phenomenon confined to one place or state.
The number or rest stops make little difference; just like people who do not return shopping carts to a coral, but just park them anywhere. Just lazy or in too much of a hurry because of job pressures
[Welcome to The Jungle.]
Before long they’ll start canning ham.....
I once heard about The Alferd Packer Memorial Lunch Room....
What if you peed on Alexa?
