Amazon has denied allegations it asked Spanish police to patrol inside one of its warehouses to make sure workers were productive as a strike took place outside.
Employees at a warehouse in the outskirts of Madrid staged Black Friday protests due to 'inhumane' working conditions.
And when Amazon caught wind of it, the retail giant asked police to ensure productivity remained high, according to Spanish media.

Amazon denied the allegations and dismissed them as 'ludicrous' and the 'worst kind of misinformation'.
An Amazon spokeswoman told Business Insider: 'Amazon is a responsible business that puts its customers and associates first. We always work with public authorities, including the police, to ensure the safety of our people and our operations.
'However any suggestion that we have used this relationship in an improper way is categorically wrong. Anyone who understands the way businesses and local authorities work will know that these ludicrous suggestions are the worst kind of misinformation.'
Spanish newspaper El Confidencial reported that Amazon approached police officials after thousands of Spanish workers announced they would be striking.

The paper said Amazon wanted local officers 'to force employees to go to their respective jobs and ensure their performance was identical to that of a normal working day'.
Amazon's request 'dumbfounded' police, who denied their request because 'controlling labour doesn't fall within its powers,' according to El Confidencial.
Police officials reportedly emphasised that Spanish law protects workers' right to strike and said they would attend the strike but only to keep the peace.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
