The GMB union's national officer Mick Rix called the overtime reports "extremely concerning", and accused Amazon of "imposing its demands on workers without any regard for their safety".
Mr Rix said he was concerned that if staff are overworked, stress will make them more susceptible to the Covid-19 virus.
