Do you think anything will change for working people without a strike?
Apparently the dumbass was told to stay home for 14 with pay because he was with the guy who got infected.
Goes back the next day. Gets fired for attempting to possibly infect everyone.
I don't support lost production. Too bad we can't shoot strikers like the old days.
If people were coming to work sick with the virus, knowing they have it, but the company policy is the worker can not leave until official papers are signed would you stay at work?
Fuck no, bring me my shit wagies.
post your link, I just saw the interview
he was not told to go home and was fired only when the day after he led the people out on a strike.
Do you hate working people?
Are you a private business owner?
What will you do if they do stike?
As an employer in this market, strikes are an absolute blessing. The dumbfucks self-deport.
what if they start shooting you?
you're outnumbered.
they are coofing all over your shit
happy now?
As you can see, i'm already in- *coof* fected.
Private death squads, I'll equip them myself.
Strikers dont have very good protection
Is that what happened? They detained a sick individual and wouldn't let them leave the warehouse until they signed papers?
Do you think the same cucks who want nationalization would tolerate it if a nationalized company's workers would demand double pay in an emergency where the company is crucial for delivering products?
Yes. Strikes and such are the free-market solution to labor struggles.
Would you rather have this shit settled by the federal government, or by workers on a case-by-case basis? No shitty regulations.
you're a bio weapon
you have power now
Ain't no stopping this coof machine.
You have the ultimate green power now
no, a women came in several days ill and finally got in to see the doctor, she was told she had the virus, but Amazon wanted lab proof so management HR told her she would have to work until she provided proof.
Her supervisor told her to go home. He got into trouble for doing that, he said in the meeting that management needed to tell workers they had sick people, management said no. he said they needed to disinfect like the other amazons did, the management said no. so he said he was going to tell workers and they told him to go home. he was put on report.
so he showed up at work everyday and sat in the cafeteria and told people the truth of what was happening. after a few days he a bunch of workers walked out in a strike, he was then fired.
So was that happening at a lot of warehouses or just this one? Sounds like other amazons were doing things differently, or no?
Nigger Armageddon.
Nope
what we have found out is every amazon infected facility has not been disinfected, workers are still sick and delivering to your door.
They are spreading the virus because they need to work and if they don't show up they will be fired and few actually get any sick pay.
they are coofing all over your packages. Corona sticks around on cardboard 72 hours what amazon is doing is criminal
Sorry, but I own and co-own a cluster of restaurants and fast food trucks that encircle the position of your warehouse. As my revenues are generated from your worker's salary and the business Amazon brings to the area itself, I've deemed that any loss of revenue which would result from such unwarranted termination of the strikers as a violation of NAP for them and subsequently NAP for myself as you've failed to either fire them or come to a mutual agreement that doesn't use force and thus their loss of salary cuts into my revenue.
Further more, given your expressed intent to kill, I've taken that as termination of their contract and now regard them as being under my employ because in anticipation of the strike, I've loaned them food for food months in advance of the strike with expectation of future payment. Your workers are indebted to me and I must exact repayment in the form of servitude and your actions will harm the workers whose payment will come in the form of my Wendy's Militia Movement(tm)
I am now obligated to defend my property and as such, I've deemed that the best course of action is to mobilize my workers and food trucks and convert them into soldiers, armored convoys, and heavy tank drones which we call Baconator's(tm).
We've made a deal with Domino's who, by owning a majority stake in what was before public roads through infrastructure fixes, deny all exit to any remaining Amazon personnel from the area. Walmart also agrees to back our fight should Amazon corporate intervene in this affair.
Surrender now or die. That's not just a threat. That's the Dave Thomas Promise, mother fucker.
apparently a lot of them, there's no standards.
they are in big trouble.
Am I surprised? No
Time Line
They’re striking so that they get access to hand sanitizer and masks. They want amazon to close the warehouse and clean it and pay them. It’s only right they get paid since it was amazons own negligence that necessitates it now. These people come into contact 100s of packages a day, it’d be best to keep them sanitary and happy.
based larp
>they are in big trouble.
as in with spreading this infection or for unlawful firing?
Deus Bubulae
both, this guy is now making the rounds and everyone wants him on their show.
big Unions are now taking a closer look
And all these sick people are now also coming forward. Apparently, some amazon facilities told people not to talk to anyone. That was dumb cause in an outfit that big someone always talks.
Who doesn't know the elite, the owners don't care about you.
And with this terms of the bailouts these big companies are going to sink small business and take it all over.
This pandemic is uncovering just how fucked we really are. I was always told the danger was that the thin layer of civility in society would wear away in a major disaster like this. I have always assumed we needed to worry about riots and looting nigs first.
But NO... it turns out that the biggest danger are the commies and infant adults hiding in plain sight, pretending to be independent functional adults. Suddenly I see mass posts on how TOUGH working at amazon is, and how they should make more than $20 an hour just throwing boxes, when warehouse work has been near minimum wage starting since minimum wage existed. And somehow all these random fuckoff jobs like cashiers, janitors, fast food, box throwers, etc suddenly deserve massive raises and "hazard pay". These kids are nuts.
50 years ago, everyone would volunteer to help keep things going when shit got tough, but now they use tough times as leverage to make demands. "We can do it" becomes "do it for us"
Plus, to make it even better, we have the rent-strike bullshit, where suddenly EVERYTHING is a human right we should be given free, or that because times are tough they shouldn't pay rent. These are kids who had parents pay for everything growing up, and somehow think the landlords can pull money from their ass to pay for service/maintenance calls to HVAC, plumbers, electricians, pest control, appliance repair,etc without anyone paying rent. And the sudden anti-landlord thing seems to think once you finish paying for something, like a home mortgage, it should be given away for free, and you can't use anything you own to generate income. Your car must now be loaned out to everyone else for free too, otherwise you are rent-seeking.
Dekulakization starting soon?
>strike without a union
lmao
Honestly Amazon is worth striking regardless of coronavirus. Wagies rise up.
Amazon is sooper gonvienent. Get all kinds of cool shit delibered to my house. Broduct rebiews arr a gr8 place to shitpoast

Dude shut the duck up with that communist bullshit. You start defending white people and then we will know you changed your tune.
I haven't used Amazon in probably 5+ years.
Stuck In Your Cage (Wagies BTFO)
All the calls for strikes basically everywhere still open, demand higher pay since they think the "essential services" term automatically mean the workers themselves are suddenly as important as doctors since having grocery stores to buy food is considered an essential need for things to stay under control. The demands are always listed as 1.higher pay plus new "hazard pay", then a distant second, almost an afterthought, 2.PPE.
Everyone should be allowed to wear masks/gloves, even if they are just using homemade masks, and if actual masks/respirators get in supply again give them out as needed. But you can't expect quarantine paid time off every time 1 out of 500 employees coughs.
Unless you are willing to stay isolated on-site, like how power plant workers are getting ready to live there temporarily, you can't expect the employer to take responsibility for people getting infected off the clock and bringing it in.
They are almost as far up the totempol that a retail worker can get. They live in isolation, are surrounded by their own tightknit community, and only deal with merchandise that has been in quarentine inside its box/shipping container for the 3 days it takes to kill the virus outside of the host.
All they ahve to do is leave trailers in the parkinglot for 3 fucking days before bringing it inside and they are fine.
Tell them to quit their fucking bitching. Not a single one of them is exposed to even 1/100th of the risk that ANY other retail worker is fored to deal with on a daily basis. Even the backroom workers at walmart are at risk because of shit comming back from the floor, and god help the retards at mcdonalds.. AMAZON THOUGH? they arnt at risk. Amazon has just been a powderkeg of bad work conditions and borderline unionization for the last 5 years. The virus is just their excuse. Once again, they have NO interactions with the public AT ALL.
I been saying it for weeks now.
BOYCOTT AMAZON
BOYCOTT C H I N A
BOOMERS AND GEN XERS LEFT MILLENNIALS AND ZOOMERS
WORKING CAGES
Sure, once the respirator I ordered gets here I wont have use for it for awhile.
Commie larping as a libertarian fag you aren't fooling anyone
That to secure these rights, Unions are instituted among Workers, deriving their just powers from the consent of the employed, That whenever any Form of Business becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the Worker to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Business, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Productivity beyond the fickle and self-serving whims of the Owners or Consumers.
OH NOS!
I got the coof!
I support workers rights by being against immigration.
They can strike all they want, but some other brown will just fill their place.
meh, if you dont want to work at amazon, get a different job.
oh whats that? nowhere is hiring right now in this madness? oh what else? your job has already been filled by one of the millions of desperate food service industry workers thats been laid off over this shit?
looks like you played yourself.
Good
then those who have been replaced join our side
our numbers grow
