Trillion dollars a year and still low wages, many workers are not being paid a decent stand with the workers who are feeling it day in and day out

[ayeskafalu]

I mean Amazon makes bread theirs no reason why these people don’t get payed good enough

[nejaziB]

These workers deserve better they have No Bathrooms, No rest, cheap labor, never get rewarded for there hard work. rise and demand your money

[Knot_Guilty]

Finally!!! The workers are the foundation of the companies, they make the money for the companies. The workers have all the power and finally realizing it. I hope this continues across the board. I can go without Amazon for a bit.

Amazon is a company that needs to be broken up, sanctioned, and criminally charged.

Power to the people, power to the employees, power to the union workers.

Amazon needs to be broken up immediately.

Good for them! These corporations need to be held accountable. I hope the workers get the salary they deserve.

Power to workers! Amazon is freaking out..

[flashflame]

Time to pay the PEOPLE a DECENT WAGE!!! Freaking amazon makes

[chispas]

Amazon doesn't care. They have flex drivers doing the work.

[jayjay]

I hate how big corporations don't want to pay their workers what they're worth. Working at Walmart is like modern slavery as well.

[jaminova_]

Awesome! We need a contract and compensation on par with our competitors! What Amazon is doing is illegal, union organizing is a right!

[madelinemanor]

Im proud to say out loud i didnot buy one thing for Christmas on Amazon, and will continue.

[tehjkhruighreuig]

As a former driver and warehouse worker MAKE AMAZON PAY!! $620 BILLION IN REVENUE !!!

[Corkfish]

These aren't even Amazon employees. They're contractors

[samsam-kofp]

Now Amazon can test out their drones and robots. Strikes seem to benefit the company these days

[okigi-wozm]

Here's a thought. Shop at an actual store.

[knttnyv]

Don't make a career out of unskilled labor. Get an education. Look at justice, Sotomayor.
Striking during holidays forces customers to seek another retailer. Loss in revenue means your job cut.

[Spiderman-pb]

The Ceos make way to much and the companies make way to much profit employees deserve a better piece of the pie whats fair is fair

[dwii]

why wait until peak season is practically over to strike?!?

[yanijuarez]

Does anyone know how much a freshly New Amazon warehouse worker makes compared to how much veteran workers make.
