Amazon and unions

The Leverage Against Amazon Is Here

I thought this was an interesting article for 2 reasons. Of course the Union aspect and if it’s true how badly people are treated at Amazon how come the liberals aren’t allmup in arms about this?

If people are treated badly they should work elsewhere.

Good luck to them.

The way amazon is disrupting retail I’m not convinced the tried and generally true mantra of getting a job elsewhere is going to work. I don’t think amazon’s continued growth is particularly good for the country.

100 million to an 800 billion dollar company is no anchor. Not for nothing but a little hard work ain't always a bad thing. Even if they packed up and left I'm sure taxpayers are waiting to get left holding the bag.

Jeff Bezos is a darling of the lefties.

All these multinationals reap great benefits from exploiting Asian peasants and offshoring US manufacturing jobs and prosperity.

Walmart 12-15 years ago took a small beating for doing what Amazon gets away with, but Bezos makes it rain for liberals and his Washington comPost is a rabid attack dog on Trump so he gets away with it.

Also they are going to get paid $27,000 in nyc. That’s the average wage for the jobs. That will buy you a sandwich a day.

Dam, the Gov should mandate a liveable wage for all.

Taxpayers are already holding the bag.

Amazon HQ2: $3 billion in state, city tax breaks draws company to New York

I don’t agree with that at all. I just don’t think we should be putting out so much money for shitty paying jobs.

This fact has not been popular with quite a few politically conscious New Yorkers. It was accompanied by an egregious giveaway of public money to Amazon, and it was accomplished via a secret back room process in which power was jealously guarded by the mayor and governor. There is a substantial movement to try to roll back the deal altogether. But there are billions of dollars at stake, and lots of powerful forces that have a lot of money riding on HQ2 arriving here. Assuming that Amazon does end up with a massive white collar work force in Queens, guess what that means?

be aware that every were Amazon goes, property values sky rocket. They will get so high the common person will not be able to afford a house. Even people who have been in their homes for 30-40 years won't be able to afford to stay their because, as usual, the county will rise property tax to the point only the 'rich' will be able to afford to stay within 30 miles of the warehouse
