I stopped buying from amazon a long time ago. Apart from the poor worker treatment, they sell your personal info that your provide and the quality control is horrible.
I have increased my purchases from Amazon in the last 5 years. Parts access with cheap prices for my customers cannot be beat thru them and their vendors. This in turn, keeps my prices down to the customer, and ensures I get more customers. Since I am 1/4 to 1/2 cheaper on labor + parts as dealers ($10 to $15 an hour with no parts cost padding versus a dealer at $50 an hour with triple parts price padding) I can move out customer equipment in 1/8th the time while still adding in full-service of equipment (because I work for myself versus a dealer who doesn't care and skips steps). As of yet, I have only had two misorders on their end in 8 years with hundreds upon hundreds of purchases (and that was the vendor, not Amazon, misreporting product sizes or part numbers).

I presume you are aware of union-busting techniques used in the past. LEOs will NOT support you, THEIR union is a closed-mind shop for the corporations.

I was an amazon shopper, never again after working for them for only a month. I hope former employees stop supporting amazon, but a ton of people seem to think they need amazon. Even non disabled people who drive seem to use the excuse "well, disabled people need amazon to deliver all their stuff", #1 that is incredibly situational and location based. My disabled friend who can't drive just has her friends (including me) take her shopping when she needs stuff. #2 that's not an excuse for YOU who can drive.
Why is it that capitalists seem to only be able to think of short-term profits? If Amazon was a consistently good place to work they would have no problem hiring people for a short time because it would be a good job to have for a few months and it would make it more likely that you are eventually able to get a permanent job there. If the job is a good one there are no 'labor troubles' and you have employees who value doing a good job instead of the 'fuck-it-all' attitude of someone abused. Besides, why would anyone ever hire someone to work under working conditions that they wouldn't accept themselves?
Part the reason is looking at the people that found and run these ventures. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerburg and the like can't really interact with most people in a positive way, so it becomes normal to focus on control and manipulation over building any kind of cooperative environment.

So, the only way to push it is to think back to film creators before the digital age and push it that way.

If we all stopped using Amazon, bezos would still be rich, and so would the executives that created the problem. Heck, i remember how many people flocked to Amazon when they opened in Richmond because of pay and benefits. Shortly after hearing the horror stories and yet they continued to grow. I have no clue what the future will hold, but as long as we have to pinch pennies, to busy or too lazy to go to a store, this business model is here to stay. When the people at the top see Amazon falling apart, they can just cut ties, and another business model will take its place. Watched it happen plenty, and I hope there is a way to stop it.
Waiting for the “Hey there! welcome to Factually! Im Adam Conover; thanks for joining me on the show again! America’s class conscious is at an all time high so today we have Luigi ..”
Amazon was the only job I quit the first day. My trainer had no clue how to even train my orientation since Amazon decided to switch their systems on that day. I was so worried on the floor of that warehouse of getting hurt since I had no clue what I was doing
why is the link to the film not in the description? also, i tried to duckduck it, and it's funny, there's another "THE union", released in august this year, what keeps coming up instead
time to occupy the warehouses! if amazon won't negotiate and the government won't make them- then it is necessary that the workers force amazon to listen.
I love the union movements and I want it to succeed. But I worry how well this can work with Ai and robots taking over . We should fight for nationalization of Amazon and make it a government run universal basic service .
Here’s a question you need to ask yourself from now on. If their AI was going to replace anyone, why did they let the public touch it? Why didn’t they just make all the money forever and replace all the jobs? Here’s another question: Who really stands to gain from AI as a tool? I mean TH-cam can’t sell you more TH-cam videos, Instagram can’t get more users, Apple doesn’t have anything else to offer right now at least not on the level of the Mac or iPhone or iPad. A business is a vehicle to extract value , but there is only so much value to go around. Unless you can use AI to extract a liiiiittle more.
@@Darth_Batemanwe don't have to have ai to make things people can use their own imaginations if they have one anymore that's something people quit instilling to let people use their own imaginations if you did that you might be able to figure some things out on your own but since we don't allow people to do this they don't have any imagination to figure out anything things on their own
@@Darth_Bateman well I know Amazon‘s testing out a lot of robots to do all the packaging and handling and it’s not ready yet, but give it 5 to 10 years. And AI can take over a lot of managerial computer work. And that’s a good thing cause it’s not like either job people wanna do anyway. The problem is capitalism. That’s why I say they should all be nationalized. And then they can have quarterly fairs for people to find ways to enhance and make the products better for a one time cash prize.
Automation for these types of jobs has already happened. Automated forklifts and giant factory robots galore. Offshoring most factories was the second major shift. The new AI is mostly a threat to jobs that involve sitting in front of a computer all day. You aren't going to see a bunch of androids or robots running around and doing jobs like moving and packing items because it's really complicated and expensive (robot automation requires very little variation or you're going to face catastrophic errors and messes all the time), it's stupid expensive to maintain robots (which is why most companies use robots that are decades old with a couple of new ones in the mix), many robots require the company that made them to do the repairs and provide replacement parts, and a constant throw away model is way cheaper when done to people instead of industrial machines. I used to work with huge industrial robots. They break down all the damn time and every damaged part costs tens of thousands to replace, minimum. It's the reason you don't see robots restocking store shelves. Programming robots to handle thousands of different items of many shapes, materials and dimensions is a nightmare. Even more so when you consider the weekly or seasonal shifts in displays. It can take a year or two to even get robots to function properly on a static line where the only thing that changes is the dimensions of the product. The destroyed product up to that point can fill entire dumpsters every day. Just imagine how much that costs. You have to look at the robot problem from a realistic perspective, not the fiction and hype a lot of current salesmen rely on to boost stock.
The claimed a victory in a single battle against the inevitable. Unless you have a plan to overthrow capitalism, it will always be one step forward and 2 steps back until there are no more steps to take.
It's totally amazing that they were able to form a union.... But where is the group of Amazon workers who are fighting for us, the consumer? They are fighting for themselves, for better wages and better working conditions. But who is fighting the unethical business practices that harm consumers? Who's fighting the high fees, algorithm manipulation, misleading product descriptions, working conditions for the people in other countries who make the products that these warehouse workers pull and ship to us, etc etc? As far as I am concerned, if you work for a company that uses unethical business tactics to keep profits high, then you too are complacent in these tactics. I sincerely hope that they are successful in their strike. Then, if they are really good and ethical people, they will turn around and strike again to fight for the consumer who's money is what is being used to pay their paychecks... But don't worry, I'll not hold my breath for that one.
Holding amazon accountable is a high priority on all fronts. Unfortunately, protecting the consumer is not on the agenda of the incoming administration. Get ready for the long game. In other words, I think holding big business accountable for worker's rights is an important piece and yes protecting privacy is another . But when you can not pay your bills that has to come first.
@deamonsoul1 so basically I care about ethics and morals and NOT about the profit margin of one of the richest pricks in the world. I care that the women and children who are working in underdeveloped nations to produce the bullshit the first world pampered people believe they must have, are payed fair wages, work in safe conditions, and have access to healthcare. I care that the products I buy were manufactured in an ethical way. I care about corporations being forced to stop being unethical. Period. The end. I care about destroying the ability of people like bezos to become billionaires in the first place. I do not care about offending people. I do not care about profits. I do not care about the fact that those union workers might not like my opinion that they are complacent in the company they work for screwing all of us over...
@butterfish-g9f that's my point.... The politicians are not doing that job. Therefore it falls to us to enforce ethical business practices. Therefore all people working for large corporations that we all know to be guilty of being unethical are, in fact, complacent in helping to perpetuate those unethical business practices. This is why, though I think it is good for workers to unionize and fight for their wages, and benefits, doing so doesn't absolve them of their part in the unethical treatment of the people who made the products in the warehouse they are striking at. Nor does it absolve the warehouse workers of the part they play in facilitating the use of unethical practices that harm the consumer who is buying those products. I'm always very glad to see workers forcing the company they work for to treat them fairly and ethically... What we need to see, is workers forcing the companies they work for to be ethical all the way around. If you work in a Walmart distribution center here in America, and you get paid 25 dollars an hour with insurance and retirement benefits, but you have those perks because the company you work for pays a ten year old in a sweat shop three cents a day to make the crap you are loading and unloading each day, YOU ARE HELPING WALMART TREAT THAT CHILD LIKE A DISPOSABLE SLAVE! Similarly, if you are a health insurance claims adjuster, and you make sixty grand a year doing so, you are making your money helping a scumbag CEO get rich by letting poor and disabled people suffer and die... The problem with our economic system is that it depends upon people being unethical, and down right malicious to each other... That's the point I am making. And that's what we need to forcibly change.

@deamonsoul1 so basically I care about ethics and morals and NOT about the profit margin of one of the richest pricks in the world. I care that the women and children who are working in underdeveloped nations to produce the bullshit the first world pampered people believe they must have, are payed fair wages, work in safe conditions, and have access to healthcare. I care that the products I buy were manufactured in an ethical way. I care about corporations being forced to stop being unethical. Period. The end. I care about destroying the ability of people like bezos to become billionaires in the first place. I do not care about offending people. I do not care about profits. I do not care about the fact that those union workers might not like my opinion that they are complacent in the company they work for screwing all of us over...
@butterfish-g9f that's my point.... The politicians are not doing that job. Therefore it falls to us to enforce ethical business practices. Therefore all people working for large corporations that we all know to be guilty of being unethical are, in fact, complacent in helping to perpetuate those unethical business practices. This is why, though I think it is good for workers to unionize and fight for their wages, and benefits, doing so doesn't absolve them of their part in the unethical treatment of the people who made the products in the warehouse they are striking at. Nor does it absolve the warehouse workers of the part they play in facilitating the use of unethical practices that harm the consumer who is buying those products. I'm always very glad to see workers forcing the company they work for to treat them fairly and ethically... What we need to see, is workers forcing the companies they work for to be ethical all the way around. If you work in a Walmart distribution center here in America, and you get paid 25 dollars an hour with insurance and retirement benefits, but you have those perks because the company you work for pays a ten year old in a sweat shop three cents a day to make the crap you are loading and unloading each day, YOU ARE HELPING WALMART TREAT THAT CHILD LIKE A DISPOSABLE SLAVE! Similarly, if you are a health insurance claims adjuster, and you make sixty grand a year doing so, you are making your money helping a scumbag CEO get rich by letting poor and disabled people suffer and die... The problem with our economic system is that it depends upon people being unethical, and down right malicious to each other... That's the point I am making. And that's what we need to forcibly change.
Amazon dnt give a care about their workers and does what elon does just kicks you out.
Chris smalls wasn't the best person for this for numerous reasons, but im glad it's being done.
