Amazon fulfillment centers don't have a good reputation in terms of employee treatment and benefits. And many consumers don't understand that those 1-day Amazon shipments take a toll on warehouse employees. There's a lot of work involved in getting packages to customer doors. If more people can understand this, maybe there could be some change to what type of benefits these workers can be given. I just don't know if a strike is the most effective method to achieve this.

It's like the country USA. You can vilify it, call it names but the truth is it will always be one of the most innovative countries in the world and the next biggest achievements in technology will most likely come from here.
In the land of the free and home of the brave there are ups and downs.
Also - how about instead of massive layoffs, Jeff Bezos has one less billion dollars 🙄 and spreads the wealth.

🤔The system looks like they just pained them over blue and slapped a different company logo on it. I guess patent enforcement is up to the country?
Years ago I worked in a factory, and worked retail, temp office jobs, etc. People are incredibly lazy.
The rate for induction was barely attainable in ideal conditions for even the best rate leaders; you could win an award for moving 1000 units per hour even though the target rate was 1300. If you think about it from the Amazon management perspective, this is an advantageous setup for them becuase by setting an unattainable rate they can keep telling you to move faster and can get rid of you for failing to perform at an acceptable rate if they don't like you (for instance if you try to organize others in a protest or aren't in the management clique)
Oh, and if you were part of their inner circle becuase you kissed their asses or hung out with them outside of work, you'd get the good stations which were only about 50 meters from the breakroom.
So much bullshit going on in there, and there are some employees who swear that Amazon can do no wrong and the management are all of unimpeachable character and I guess they've just resigned themselves to a lifetime of warehouse work.
My back and knees are still fucked up after only a year there. I was in the army for 6 years, and the fulfillment center memories are way more nightmarish than what I experienced in training or on Iraq deployments I managed to internally transfer after going to a web Dev bootcamp and I'll never work in one of those shitholes again. Fuck Amazon.
I can understand why the employees don’t like it but they are free to get new jobs too. What they should worry about is getting what they are demanding. If that happens they won’t have a job anymore as the robots fully take over. They have that job now because of human labor being more cost effective than robots. Nothing more.
