Amazon may be making record revenues, but they aren’t making record profits.

“and protect the global environment” “But instead of supporting its workers, communities and the planet,..”

I was not aware Amazon is now responsible for global warming, of excuse me, “climate change”.

“pushing for the company to provide better wages and protect the global environment”

It’d be fun to give them a choice: you can have higher wages OR Amazon takes steps to protect the global environment. You can’t have both. I wonder which they will choose.

What a weird combination of demands.

Fire their butts and bring in a new wave of H1B slaves.

If you aren’t willing to do the job you AGREED to, then you deserve nothing less than instant termination. If your boss is a big fat ****, then quit and find something else (probably not in that order).

Snowflakes deserve no job.

“Black Friday” is an ingenious invention of corporate America, inviting black people to buy at a discount things they would otherwise steal.

Not understanding that revenues and profits aren’t the same is a mistake too many businesses make. My wife ran a business with $100k revenues for 20 years and wonders why she doesn’t have any money. It’s obvious that most “journalists” and almost all employees don’t know it either.

I don’t understand the gripes with their wages or benefits. My wife has worked in an Amazon warehouse 5 miles from our house for about 4 1/2 years. While she admits the job is physically demanding, she is making $21.15 for a no brainer job and once she walks out the door, the job is done. No worries about having to do extra work from home or answer phone calls or emails. She declines the health insurance because I have a great plan with my job, but she takes the dental and vision and for a very low premium it keeps paying for itself. She also has a 401K with match and stock purchase plan. She also has life insurance and short and long term disability insurance at no cost to her.

She has been working with many of the same people for multiple years and they frequently have potlucks at work and go out after their shifts. She estimates that about half the workforce turns over fairly regularly, but the other half have been there for multiple years.

She may be one of the lucky ones with good local management that makes her warehouse a good place to work, but my son has a friend at another nearby warehouse who feels the same as my wife and we have a relative about 40 miles away working at a 3rd warehouse that also loves the job. I am not sure why so many feel underpaid and overworked - perhaps they are from states with a high percentage of snowflakes!!!

Amazon is moving towards decoupling their product sales at Amazon.com from AWS. Amazon’s .com product doesn’t make much money. These people protesting think that their work is creating all those massive billons of profit that AWS is generating. Their .com is also unbder assault from lawmakers who represent other .com sales companies that cannot subsidize their profit margins with an AWS. Amazon is presently near low price on most everything, but they are using AWS to keep the product sales competitive. This is changing as the lawmakers push new laws and force AWS to decouple from Amazon.com... once that happens the warehouse workers will see their Amazon stock stop growing.
