It’s seems degrading to be subject to this but at the same time the majority of theft is from employees. I’ve hear about these type of precautions at UPS sorting centers. It’s also why cash register security cameras are pointed at the register not where a robber would be in clear view.
That said I’m almost certain the UPS employees are paid while doing the screening. That’s a benefit of labor unions.

I'm not really contesting that security screening might be a necessary part of the job just that it's incredible that they're not getting paid for it.

Indeed. I've worked in electronics and home entertainment retail in the past and been subject to similar checks. The majority of theft is indeed carried out by employees.
Wow. They were hired to do work, not to be locked up for half an hour per day and treated like criminals. Moreover, it is obviously clear that Amazon could just stop locking them up for half an hour per day and treating them like criminals. Therefore Amazon owes them no compensation for locking them up for half an hour per day and treating them like criminals. That is one hell of a Supreme Court ruling.
