    “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.

    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.

  • @shine-eg1vt

    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.

  • @shine-eg1vt
    @shine-eg1vt 13 часов назад

    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

  • @coderider3022

    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 ?

    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
