I watched the entire exchange between the committee and the Amazon execs. Multiple times they used the phrase "I reject the premise of your question." The committee should have responded immediately that their rejection is irrelevant & they need to answer the questions put to them by the committee. Too many times execs don't bother to answer direct questions (Why did your workers strike) with smart sounding language & distraction techniques. Hold their feet to the fire and make them answer for the decisions they make that put their workers in harms way.
A free market that is too "free", that is, unregulated, will eventually lead to monopolisation and disappearance of the free market. Regulation is vital to protect the free market.
I would like to say thank you for putting them on the spot as they have been getting away with bad practices for years and not just BHX4 because of there friend the tory party. Keep up the good work 👏
Amazon likes to work directly with their workers provided its on their terms.The woman from Amazon only sees and hears what is positive about the company. When people like her are prosecuted and held accountable for anti union activities then maybe there will be progress.
I have been boycotting amazon for years now. I would love for companies as amazon to be made unlawful. It's simply not acceptable that this company is able to use caveats so easily. It's also not acceptable to only look at how UK employees are treated. Products of slavery should not be allowed to be imported. We need more traceability throughout the production line to guarantee we are not financing child and adult slavery.
80% migrant workers? also the jargon within legal contracts equate to legalised slavery - for us all. slavery was never abolished which is evidenced here and can be evidenced by ANYONE challenging legal contracts generally. the entire legal system is not and has never been fit for purpose for the people.
Today, I met the most knowledgeable couple of managers who, as it turns out, knew nothing at all. I expect you had to wash the slime off the chairs that couple were sitting on afterwards, and apply deodorant to remove the smell of BS as well.
Sort Amazon out !!! Unbelievable. You need to be tougher on this type of business practice! I cancelled my subscription mainly because of the replacement of workers with robots with no warning in the US.
Why bother asking these people at this point. We've tried enquiring before and only got gaslit. Their character is clear and always has been. At this point we can and should ignore Amazon's testimony.
Amazon bosses are almost as good as some politicians at giving non answers......they should be fined for non answers. Theyd soon start answering questions.
Usually their policy is "safety first" but their targets were those "killing " people, when I needed an ambulance desperately they refused to call it and security kept asking me to leave the building.
They also sell returned goods ( many items do not work and so are returned) to other companies who then sell pallets of such goods. A friend has bought many of these palletts only to find the majority of the good received are rubbish. A responsible business would dump the faulty goods and not resell them. I imagine the "trade" is worth a great deal of money and a lot of the poorest of the world are buying these pallettts in anticipation of making profits which are never realsised.
@@adenwellsmith6908 Not sure what you mean by recycling but I do know of 12 fans only 2 worked, of 6 electric insect zappers only 1 worked. The clothing was badly made from rubbish fabric the list could go on....
that lady especially is so arrogant and smug, smiling whenever she knows she's blatantly misleading or ignoring a question. Would it be any more damaging if she just said "I don't know" or "I'm not going to answer that" to questions rather than blatantly ignoring or lying
The sad reality they work the people till they drop, speed and efficiency is everything along with targets. In most packaging or postage jobs it's always stupidly fast paced, take a look at BT warehouse or even DPD there ain't no wonder people end up badly.
Would it be possible for unions to work with employers and renegotiate National Insurance payments made by the WAASPI women who lost 5 years of pensions payments? Can contributions be reclaimed?
Most of those injuries would be classed as personal medical issues so not recorded. You can’t prove a heart attack or a bad back or bad knees is work related.
lets get everythink simple with tax, if any company trades in uk they should us a uk bank account. that way they can see what correct tax they must pay. business rates for likes of amazon needs too change, meaning my local butchers pays more business rates then all of amazon and defo more then just one super large Wearhouse. i would add also i believe and company that generate billion in profit should be paying legally have too staff extra rather have them work for minimum wages leading too still needing too claim some sort of benefits. amazon has destroyed local economies as local traders can not compete with prices,. meaning ever since amazon expansion they made local towns die and dead. dosent help that local MPs just see possible jobs and ignore what the out come could be. same thing happened when bigger super markets happened. MPs have alot too blame yet if taxed correctly amazons profits would be so great and would also have too rise prices meaning a fair chance for the local stores.
Online levy. Further the product travels or is manufactured the more levy. This will lvl playing field with small independent businesses. And lower and abolish small independent business taxes.
All pointless and a waste of money these things. No one is ever held to account when it's blatant they're lying or being disingenuous. If there's no accountability then why waste money doing it. We've had Sunak and Starmer at these things lyin' there ass's off, people bubbling about the reason for CBDC's and yet everything just continues as normal. Meanwhile your all getting paid an extra £15k. 🤷♂️ I'm probably completely wrong but I've never seen any accountability because of these meetings. It just seems like people get invited to see how well they lie, or state they "reject the question or premise of it" without being challenged, then they go home. 🤷♂️
I think you government should subsidise low wage workers for small and medium businesses but why don’t they force large businesses to pay a living wage ? What’s the effective minimum wage age of some working 40 hours a week with all the government subsidies they are given.
unions take members money but dont represent them in tribunals as they , in most cases,drop members claims. they will deny this of course, but the reality is unless a worker has the means to pay huge legal fees the corporates get away with it. and if labour were serious about ending employer abuse of workers, they would return free legal aid for employment issues. But they wont.
It is not difficult to join a union! Employers involving themselves in the process is all about interfering with worker’s rights, as is the current and ongoing Conservative/fascist government.
Let's be honest MR Byrne,I don't know what political party you represent but as your an MP you should realise that nobody ever "recognises" anything when the truth is putting o them,you MP,s do it all the time when the truth is put to you and you don't like it,I worked in a" Spanish "ladies flat a couple of yrs back and in all honesty I was there for a week and I didn't see her once,her neighbour was letting me in to do the work because the Spanish lady was out of the house for almost 18hrs while working for Amazon,she was not even allowed a day off work or she would have got sacked,the neighbour did mention that she got her son a job there but he left after the second day because she said he told her "they practically look at how much your breathing" to see if it affects your work,ill be honest,i dont know anyone personally that works for Amazon but I have spoken to ppl whose family work for Amazon and not one person has a good thing to say about them
i know what you want, you want to discover dirty money so you become a part of the deal, or you honest and trying to figure a away to take control, but you aways need to benefit someone on whatever transaction. the state or the private company, and my computer had being cloned just like my computer and nothing happened, people around me, kids principally joke about my life, dont you see any crime on that? why you aways judge i have something hidding when i never had contact that wasnt modified, i got lobotomized and you still come on this resource of contact paying my torture... you will never find that gold pot. see

So ask Liam the direct question and watch his behaviour.
How big are the welfare state's pension debts and why are they hidden off the books?
Freemason Diversion Tactics, they are used across the world by governments and corporations
@@adenwellsmith6908How does this relate to Amazon's treatment of workers and its anti-union stance?
Why is the HSE not investigating why so many ambulances are being called ?
Exactly !!!
HSE don't cover warehouses, that's a local council issue
Big companies like this and supermarkets has seen a reduction of small businesses in the local streets.
People just can not compete with them.

Profits over safety
Government makes a 30% gross profit margin on its services. Way more than amazon.
Amazon likes to work directly with their workers provided its on their terms.The woman from Amazon only sees and hears what is positive about the company.

We need a win-win, not a nasty society.
Capitlism doesnt allow for win win @@babydragoncreature
How about Amazon gets billed for the 1400 ambulance call-outs?
The truth, greed, greed and more greed.
Thank you Sir!
First, I wish we had MPs like you in our parliament (Germany).
Second, for me this is goodbye, the end of my purchases from Amazon.
The truth is nearly always the opposite of whatever the big company is claiming, for future reference.
I have been boycotting amazon for years now. I would love for companies as amazon to be made unlawful. It's simply not acceptable that this company is able to use caveats so easily.

The DATA shows people want to work at Amazon. Who is responsible for fudging the DATA? Managers?
This woman has never spoken to one shop floor employee of Amazon . I can guarantee she has never heard one person say that
I doubt the handful of people on the shop floor when (and if) questioned spoke truth to someone who could end their income in an instant.
Today, I met the most knowledgeable couple of managers who, as it turns out, knew nothing at all. I expect you had to wash the slime off the chairs that couple were sitting on afterwards, and apply deodorant to remove the smell of BS as well.
Watching BBC "nothing to see here" News prompted a look on the internet for the answers .. Thank you.
