  • When Amazon workers in California met with their manager to demand a raise, they couldn't believe his response. He suggested they start carpooling & use more Amazon company perks. So 150+ courageous workers led one of the largest mass walkouts in Amazon history.

    As a former Amazon worker at the Moreno Valley distribution center this is common practice. Work employee as much a possible if you don’t like it to bad. They are horrible. Prior to working for them I thought people complaining had poor work ethic. I personally experienced multiple safety issues & discrimination once I got pregnant. It’s NOT a good company to work for. They exploit your need to work to provide for your family. Shame on Jeff. He knows EXACTLY what he’s doing . He has made Billions with these practices.

      How does a $800.00 a month raise change the weather? or provide dignity, better yet where is the loss of dignity occurring and from what? If safety is an issue point out where and contact OSHA.
      Im not saying these workers dont deserve a raise, maybe they do maybe they dont, but using arguments to garner emotional support that dont fit the demand arent helping your case, Amazon isnt going to agree , and supplying you dignity isnt their job or responsibility. Neither is the current gas cost increase, which has most of us squeezed so tight we're all springing leaks. You can easily fix tht by not voting for Democrats, especially Biden who deliberately caused the oil shortage, by cancelling the last section of the pipeline, stopping [pumping in Anwar, and cancelling all drilling permits. It was literally his first action as president, and decreased our supply by 800,000 barrels a day. I work for a living too, but I focus my angst toward the places causing it . And I dont think starting with an 800.00 a month increase was well planned out, nor is acting like everything is Amazons fault or problem. Im sure whats his face could afford the increase, but you'll have better luck and success working toward a movement to vote out Democrats, their worse than Putin.

    An ex coworker of mine worked from fedex. He worked unloading cargo containers and some of them are very dirty. One day he went to doctor because he said his eye's were hurting and hard to see. I don't remember what it was called but it was caused by the dirty bins. An inspector took samples of the containers and the contents inside were somewhat harmful in multiple ways.. He has to put special eye drops in eyes everyday and might run the risk of going blind. This happened to a few other guys he was working with too. Take care of yourself at these jobs lads

    Amazon is an easy target so they get all the attention. Honestly, Amazon’s warehouse conditions were much better than those at several Kohl’s warehouses I’ve worked at and the pay is still better than what I currently make as a supervisor at a well-known pharmacy chain. Not excusing Amazon, just a reminder that they’re far from the only company keeping their employees in wage slavery. Let’s not allow the worker movement to become about one company and let the rest slide. If transportation circumstances and other responsibilities didn’t force me to work closer to home I’d gladly go back to a 73 degree warehouse and that pay.

      Given land can not be 'hidden' from public view, the wealthy elite will find it much tougher to evade paying taxes.

    As an ex employee of Amazon… In Southern California… I would say their wages are fair. If you compare their wages to competitors in the area… they are right on par. This job requires no experience or education. And is a job with full benefits. Usually having optional overtime… I fail to see the issue.. and no air conditioning… have these people ever worked warehouse in their lives? What were they truly expecting??

      They said that because of location and the doors opening and closing constantly lets in all that 100+ degree heat into the building where they work making it hotter than it should simply because of poor architect design. Even when i worked at a bottling warehouse in and out on a forklift we always kept the temperature at least room temp.

      Hi Marty. Maybe there is a good compromise here. Amazon should share profits or give some kind of stock option two employees so they can have a chance to get ahead just like Jeff Bezos. He is not a special human being other than being quite savvy. Everyone else has the same dreams and desires. So he should make it possible for them to profit from their productivity. It’s the way I always do business.

      When I worked there they did give you 8 shares after completing two years of employment. Employees, however, voted in a higher pay wage and got rid of the stock options.
      Amazon also helps pay for college after one year of employment to help better your career even if it’s not intended to be within the company.
      You clearly are uninformed or misinformed about the company. Not to sound pretentious or disrespectful… but the people that walked out are about the same as kids that do a walk out at high school… They we’re more excited about missing work/school for a day than anything else.

      I disagree, Marty. I have worked warehouse. It’s brutal. The point is, if Henry Ford could double the rate of pay back in the early 1900s - before he became filthy rich - then Jeff B can do the same. Amazon will only benefit from such a move.

      The problem is non skill labor jobs suck if u do you don't get overtime generally. And managers are cutting the overtime to zero .
