Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

Also just not buy things from Amazon until the strike is over. Real stores exist!
(I say this as a recluse who buys almost everything online)

I cannot express how much I love this. Jeff Bezos is an evil piece of dog poo... actually, that is an insult to dog poo.
You can say shit on the internet. It’s allowed 😀
I did say shit, my statement is about shit. ;)
Ok this made me laugh. 🤣

He doesn't run Amazon anymore.
Yeah he's only the single largest shareholder, he has absolutely no influence at all

GOOD. Fuck Amazon and their union busting bullshit.
Oh can not wait for Amazon blaming the strike for any and all issues for the next year or so.
Well. There go the Black Friday profits.
Why? People can still order at "discounted" prices, their packages will just arrive a little late.
I'm sure actual profits will not suffer too much.
Gosh darn it!

It only really works if they keep striking. A one day strike is lame
Let's hope the striking workers can afford to live without pay before Amazon cave in and pay up!
...Oh wait I forgot it's 2023
If they can't live without pay, what they should really do is unionize.

Do you have any concept what it's like for any fledgling union?
"Lame" shows your ignorance.
ebay's usps shipping may not be as fast as prime but it's fast enough for me.

I just started delivering for them a few weeks ago and it's decent pay and easy work. In fact I'm scheduled 4 10 hour days of my choosing and I usually get done in 8 but still get paid for 10 hours. $24/hr.
I don't know if I just work out of a good location but like 90% of what that video said is bullshit... and our location definitely is not striking.
Like the video hammered on carbon footprint, meanwhile Amazon is completely converting its fleets to electric vehicles. I'm in one right now, on my lunch break, typing this.
Feel free to AMA. Dumbass people downvoting because reality doesn't align with your misguided, counterfeit morally superior anger. Nothing says bitch like downvoting without engaging.
You've worked there for... a few weeks? And you're declaring that the reasons for the strike are bullshit? Bless your heart and good luck being exploited.

I never did delivery but I was a packer running 4 10s at 14 an hour and god it was unbelievably unbearable. I constantly had to hold my piss and the job was so boring just standing there in a line, unable to listen to music or even talk to your neighbors most of the time without getting a talking from your manager. Seriously worst job I ever had, if I was still working there damn right I'd be out there striking.
Delivery must be a much nicer department than packing. Also I know for a fact the strikes are real I have a friend in it currently.

At the time of my reply your comment is only 7 minutes old and you have no downvotes. Very weird thing to try to preempt.
If you're viewing from Kbin, you can only see downvotes from other Kbin users. If a user from another instance downvotes it, it will not show up unless you view the post on the original instance.

Lol shilling for the biggest company in the world for $24 an hour? Calling people bitches for calling out your bullshit? Fucking shameless lack of dignity. I can't imagine someone being this much of a dumbass, thinking your anecdotal evidence means anything when we have so much verifiable, proven scumfuckery from amazon. Piss bottles on shelves? Warehouse workers being locked in during storms?

Fuck Amazon.
Wait, Fucker Carlson made a good point? Broken clock is broken at least once a day I suppose.
I haven't kept up much with fucker "punchable face" Carlson but from what I've heard, after being fired from Fox, he has started to backpedal on a lot of things he said and is actively trying to salvage his "journalist" career
Just to play devils advocate; his leaked texts confirmed he never believed some of the stuff he said (which makes him more of an asshole).
I wouldn't be surprised if he was pressured by Murdoch etc. to push certain narratives.
Please don't pity him. His first episode on his new show (Tucker on X), was him interviewing a lunatic who claims to have had a gay, drug-fueled orgy with Obama. Tucker literally interviewed this guy as if it were a serious claim, ignoring the fact that the guy is a convicted felon who is known for lying about crazy shit.

About damn time!
not as much as I was hoping for.
Amazon spends obscene amount of money to discourage these strikes. It is a continuous war each year.

This strike is sponsored by Amazon so that 99% of their business keeps on making money by creating a distraction.
