I have been in this situation in an Amazon UK warehouse. I was employed by and outside agency and even in the cold of winter the temperature soared high. We were only given short breaks in which there was barely any time to eat. The dust was the worst factor for me on top of that the high temperature and the long hours resulted in me getting horrible rashes on my body from the sweat generated. I ended up quitting because I got so ill I was rushed to the hospital from my GP with suspected pneumonia and kept in for monitoring. Even after I had quit i received phone calls asking why I had not shown up to work.
The warehouse where I worked was undergoing some improvements to help people work more efficiently but I can only assume that this will push the targets expected of employees up making the job harder.
At least with my kindle some warehouse worker has one less book to carry.
