“Our preferred way of doing business is through direct engagement with our employees” 🙄 Aka we prefer it when the power dynamic is heavily in our favour.
It is a shame how bad they are lying they need some Amazon employees in there to tell them how it is Yes we can't leave our routes we have to pee in bottles because sometimes we're so far away from any store anything like 15 minutes and they tell us that we cannot use the bathroom or do anything before we finish 30 stops we can't use the bathroom or do anything after 4:30 sometime those 30 stops is like 50 60 because they are group stops so each stop have two to five houses each stop
Its incredibly frustrating that we never found out in amazons view why the workers are on strike. When companies say they will write to MP's we the electorate never get to see the response.
I worked at an Amazon fulfillment center in Rugeley as a Packer and the conditions were extremely hot even during winter, there is no AC, Airport like Security, insane Targets, Strike/point system so if you're late you get i think is like half a point, if you miss targets it's another half point or a full 1 point and eventually if you get to a certain amount they fire you. Alot are employed through Agencies.
Smug egos - The body language from both of these Amazon execs speaks for itself - I thank humanity that I have and would never turn out to be anything like those guys. Do these people have even the common decency to be ashamed of themselves at their performance in front of the committee and their obvious level of evasiveness along with their obvious levels of spin - Shameful.
Absolutely painful viewing I hate the corporate capitalists who maximise profit at the expense of workers and rights as that is capitalism’s modus operandi profit by any means necessary
Plus this woman from Amazon needs to learn what the hawthorn effect is? Within workplaces especially those where there is an element of fear or precariousness workers will lie to their employers as that is what is believed is expected of them
What do you expect in a country where charity chief execs earn a hundred thousand plus and academy heads 200 k. Greed is everywhere from top to bottom.
It's all it's all about the packages a man almost died last night they don't care they will just keep pushing you and pushing you you will tell him that you sick or whatever and they don't care they'll keep pushing you Right now my ankle is messed up my neck messed up my all messed up and back messed up they don't care you don't get no sick days you have to plan your sick days 2 weeks in advance if not you will get written up for calling out for being sick even with the doctor's note or they'll take you off the road for some days and they call that penalizing you
When you speak to employees? You mean the managers little favourites who wouldn't have a bad word to say about the company. Management are awful and couldn't do the job of the workers
It’s so interesting how they are painting a utopia about their business and business models … even though they are on panel for the complete and or nearly complete opposite* Cheer up, UK Amazon workers!!! Your justice is coming ♥️✨
Nice one, Liam. Direct questions and no tolerance for their deliberate evasion. The way they are treating our workers is abhorrent and their continued evasion of tax is a disgusting inequity. They must be made to answer for it. This was positively agonising to watch (it seemed like you were talking to brain-washed cultists) but the committee didn't take any shit. This is what we like to see. Some iron. That's to be commended. Well done.
With they are talking about with the scholarships and help you with college and all that that is for the Amazon workers that's in the warehouse not the drivers or the DSPs and have the people who try to do it they only put up like $1,500 or something like that they don't put up nothing that's compared to the actual price of what it cost
This is what low costs and good service means. If you don’t like it, don’t buy from Amazon. Simple enough. How many people did making our apple devices, refining our fuel, getting our fish ?
One of the ladies had got bit by Doug real bad real bad she was crying everything and she was just saying like they told me I had to come to work I'm not hurt but it hurts so bad she was crying everything so she eventually quit
I have the text message they sent out if you have a broke phone don't call and ask for any other phone or anything we do not have any more phones for you or any more equipment so you will have to delegate between the phone and your personal phones in order to get it done but you must get it done or something like that but I have the text message
Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
30:50 I've never seen anyone look so pleased with themselves for giving such a stupid answer

How great a lesson in not answering directly to the question!
Can they bring Workers to the conversation??????????.
Liam , how could they be communicating with GMB for two years but cant tell you why GMB are striking?
I had five carts 31 bags 47 overflow 414 packages and had to be done it didn't it took me 12 hours I didn't get off until 9:00

Literally dodging every question and that’s legal?

As MPs never answer questions, why get upset when others don’t.

This is not the best place ever worked I cannot call off for they say if you need a sick day you going to have to apply for 2 weeks in advance
35:15 the guy sat at his laptop.... facepalm... we feel it too brother...
We need to get tougher with big business. Corporate arrogance at its worst.
these are full of wool .. I know many people who work there safety is not their first safety metric.
This is the future for the UK workers. No future
You need to make them swear an oath to tell the truth before they talk to a committee, then if they don't tell the truth it becomes perjury.
With they are talking about with the scholarships and help you with college and all that that is for the Amazon workers that's in the warehouse not the drivers or the DSPs and have the people who try to do it they only put up like $1,500 or something like that they don't put up nothing that's compared to the actual price of what it cost

The 2 witnesses just make me angry.
One of the ladies had got bit by Doug real bad real bad she was crying everything and she was just saying like they told me I had to come to work I'm not hurt but it hurts so bad she was crying everything so she eventually quit
The smug looks on their faces after blurting out the most obvious corporate lie is obnoxious
The fact that the committee allows them to get away with this word soup bullshit is a disgrace. These Amazon representatives are morons.
Only thing they give us is chicken sandwiches and I don't want it I told them many times what are you trying pay me off with a damn chicken sandwich
I have the text message they sent out if you have a broke phone don't call and ask for any other phone or anything we do not have any more phones for you or any more equipment so you will have to delegate between the phone and your personal phones in order to get it done but you must get it done or something like that but I have the text message
So this is where my taxes go? What an utter shower of shit. It should be 3 strikes, and you are out.
Honestly she needs to stop smiling, serious matters being discussed
A pure exercise in egoism
This committee are an irrelevance, an indication of corporate disdain for incompetent politicians
corpspeak as a mask
Great analysis, thank you! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
I work at Amazon and really enjoy it tbh.
Did Liam really say 50 thousand people work at the Houses of Parliament.
I can understand 15 thousand but not 50.
😮😮
Select committee using BBC and guardian findings ,oh dear
What’s wrong with that? Are they the wokearati?
Amazon is a disgraceful company to work for. They blocked my app because i was stuck in traffic! Never again deleted all their apps.
