AMAZON Germany security guards with neo-Nazi links intimidate foreign workers

snip

The documentary makers went undercover at one of the budget hotels used by Amazon for their staff and witnessed the brutal ways of HESS Security first hand.

When they were discovered with their cameras, the uniformed men demanded they handed over their footage and detained the journalists for nearly an hour when they refused.

ARD made further accusations against HESS Security, claiming its name is a reference to prolific Nazi Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler’s right-hand man, alleging that its director is associated with convicted neo-Nazis and football hooligans.

The conditions of Amazon’s workers were exposed further in the documentary, revealing that many walk over ten miles a day to get to their workplace.

Due to their temporary status, workers can be fired at will and many are paid less than they were promised.
