I'm skeptical about the racist death threats.
Hey guys - your salary increase went to pay for Amazon’s billion dollar Woke disaster, Lord of the Rings.
Whatever the cause, more and more people are sick of working high-pressure jobs for little more than room and board. I don’t know what the wage should be, but the market used to determine that - until the borders were opened and foreign workers could undercut American wages. It is an end-run around “supply and demand”.
For everyone reading this article:
The City of Joliet levies a $5 fine for anyone pronouncing the city name as “Jah lee yet”.
Correct pronunciation is “Joe lee yet”.
If you pronounce the city name incorrectly while reading, please send the $5 to the Freep-a-thon.
$25 is the new $15 soon to be $50.....soon to be....
Did Jussie Smollettt get a job at Amazon?
Wait till the Biteme admin has to handle a rail strike.

Average American:
“I don’t care about the worker! I just want my STUFF - like, TODAY!”
$20 an hour for pushing boxes around or packing? That’s pretty good for very unskilled labor. Add to that their medical benefits and other benefits and it’s probably $60k per year.
“The workers also are demanding a more robust company response to death threats directed at Black employees that they said were posted in an employee washroom last May.”
98 percent chance it was a black employee.
Is Cesar Escutia an illegal alien? Just curious. 😋
Is there a police report for that, I wonder...
Wasn’t it just yesterday that the fast food people wanted to go from $10 to $15 and hour? Now they are all blowing through that to $25. What a mess.
RNs don’t make those wages and they save peoples lives
These are box tossers
Good luck with walking of the job with Amazon.
They will just close that distribution center and work around it.
UPS, FedX. USPS and ???? want that business and will do whatever needs to be done to get it and to keep it.
In this part of N. California, Amazon is delivering about 1 out of 3 to 4 orders
Amazon isn’t the only company facing accusations that it’s failed to stop racism at some of its facilities. Tesla has faced multiple lawsuits from employees about its factory in Fremont, California, and has reportedly paid out millions in settlements relating to racial discrimination at the plant.
The funny part is that this is a fulfillment center, meaning by walking off the job, all they have done is made sure their grandmothers don’t get their new portable oxygen bag or new external catheter until this weekend. Schadenfreude.
Unions are evil.
So... let me get some popcorn.
