    I delivered for Amazon for 3 years & the DSP's don't care. We used to get bit by dogs, slip and fall l & I'm in Texas so summers were brutal driving in 110° weather, driving in the rain getting soaking wet. They just don't care because they see u as a replacement piece. One of my co-workers was around 50 years old & she had a heat stroke & they just told her to keep working, ended up having 3 surgeries from it. That's why the turnover ratio is so high. They just don't care. SMH

      Amazon left me with a severe back injury. When I returned to work, I was given no accommodation for the injury following surgery. It further hurt my back and cause me a 7 year recovery. Also, from Texas. F these companies, they deserve every bit of workers saying no to the conditions they work in.

      Wait so you’re blaming conditions outside of the company’s control? But you knew the possible scenarios of being a delivery driver before u signed up right? Or did u think everyday will be a breeze and you’ll be paid high flying wages?

    From what I seen them striking about so far is Less hours and higher pay? How does that even work? And don’t talk about safety if that’s the case every warehouse in America would be shut down they aren’t unsafe at all

    A friend of mine applied for a job at Amazon as an IT specialist and was shocked by the bare minimums that were offered in the contract. Needless to say he did not accept the job but was very disappointed by the company.

    Everyone hates postal workers for holding packages hostage. If they want to make the same mistake, I already have my deliveries and lots of popcorn.

      Dude, Amazon makes them defecate in bags in order to deliver on time. Dejoy is actively defunding and upending the usps to drive down public opinion, to justify privatizing the usps. Stop trying to divide workers. Capitalists are the ones that decide on deliveries, and work conditions. They aren’t on our side. We need worker solidarity, not division.

    • @xx133

      Worker solidarity, otherwise capitalists will have y defecating in bags, and monitoring every blink of the eye made in order to maximize productivity on the job also. Capitalists aren’t on the side of workers, only workers are.

    • @xx133
      @xx133 Час назад +5

      No, worker solidarity. Capitalists aren’t on y side. They’re the ones that create these conditions in the first place, not the workers-they’re just following orders, and being paid pennies to do so.

    It is really inconsiderate of the workers to choose this timing. People order from Amazon year-round. There is no need to adversely affect the holiday. It won't affect me, personally, but I think it's a shame.

      It's not inconsiderate, it's smart. On the other hand, it was pretty inconsiderate of Bezos to decide his newspaper couldn't endorse a candidate right before the election. Good luck to the Amazon workers, they NEED a union, and they deserve to have one.

      I worked at one of their warehouses, the work can be tough according to what you're doing, and there is room for a pay increase. Due to the current rate of inflation there's no issue with demanding more money, especially with these kind of low-skilled jobs. And who are you to determine someone's worth btw? You do understand that you also need those "low-skilled scrubs" to keep store shelves stocked so you can feed your pathetic self, don't you?
