  • Amazon promised workers in Chicago full-time roles with a hiring bonus, extra pay for working Thanksgiving, and paid bereavement leave. Every promise was broken.
    So these courageous workers led the first-ever walkouts coordinated across multiple Amazon warehouses.

    You warehouse workers are so powerful. Without y'all, Amazon can't even hope to fulfill orders. These are orders in which Amazon takes a healthy cut, right from the vendor's pockets.
    Amazon can afford anything their workers demand, they are the ones holding the bag of cash. Don't forget this.

    I don't know much about Chicago, but I've heard they are a strong working class city, who are proud and stand up for what they believe in. You represent everything right in your community. This is basic shit, getting bathroom breaks, the pay you were promised and a livable wage. You are on the right side of history, and within a Union you are powerful and can fight them tooth and nail.

      i cancelled prime long ago and do all in my power to avoid the company and its subsidiaries such as prime movies, prime music, whole foods, hello fresh, alexa, ring "security" system, twitch, amazon pharmacy (you get the picture).
      bezos received the go ahead from political corporatists and wall street--an enormous red flag!
