This isn't the first time we've heard first-hand accounts of massive companies treating workers like slaves. Amazon is already notorious for the ways it treats its warehouse workers. Once again, upward concentration of wealth in our country has created pressure on the people at the bottom to produce more, more, more. If you don't see the parallels to the time period leading up to the massive workers' rights reforms of the Progressive era - you aren't looking very hard. We seem to have have already forgotten the lessons we learned just a century or so ago.
- dx034 9y agoThere's a very big difference between a cargo pilot and an Amazon warehouse worker. Just because both feel treated unfairly, the warehouse worker will be much worse off. Cargo pilots dream of salaries that were usual in the past, warehouse workers just want to earn enough to have an acceptable lifestyle.
