Ocasio-Cortez — I have an extremely busy schedule. They need to bring the warehouse to me for review.

Figures Amazon would worry about what this idiot thinks. They could not care less if every GOP senator and congressman believes the claim.

I serve Amazon fulfillment centers in the Bay Area.

They take care of their employees

I’ve seen workers treated worse at a major trucking firm...

I didn’t read much of it. I will say that I think the way Amazon operates is suspect. If it was another company possible more heat would come on them. It’s just my opinion from stories I ve heard from people who worked there. I do think Amazon has a serious scam going on against the workers.

I wouldn’t like Amazon anyway. They are a govt subsidized business. Designed to run Americans out of business, imo.

It would be good for her to go to Amazon and see it in person.

If she can see where even a few things she has been taught are false, it might start to educate her about reality.
