This is how Amazon described this service:Īt Amazon Flex we give you the chance to increase your income by helping us out delivering parcels. Thanks to the latter you can sign up as a self-employed worker and spend your life traveling around delivering parcels.

How to become an Amazon driverĪmazon is a company that definitely fits into the previous description and its app called Amazon Flex allows us to become one of its lucky and privileged drivers and delivery men. You're the customer and before you even realize your boss is going to be kicking you because he's found someone willing to do your job for under $500 per month. Just imagine, a company registered in a tax haven that allows creative accounting that decides to give a minor discount to a service offered by a self-employed worker in precarious conditions whilst getting out of the equation whoever offered the service previously. Under the bombastic name of collaborative economy and sentences of the likes of Be your own boss, we can find loads of services that intend to be the dog's bollocks and the new 21st century Do It Yourself concept with the only intention to disguise harmful practices the workers' rights.
