They are basically saying that they talked with Amazon management and they were open to listen but not to act in order to raise their salaries and add bonuses. The reasons why they are asked it's because they have to work nights, Sundays and have forced overtime.
The economy in Italy is really bad, most of my friends don't have jobs and those who do usually have ones who are just average pay (18k euros/year). From what I read here (an Italian newspaper: http://www.lastampa.it/2017/03/14/edizioni/vercelli/qui-ad-amazon-tre-turni-e-uno-stipendio-da-euro-SRZaDy0KStuNc7C9LEnlbI/pagina.html http://www.lastampa.it/2017/03/14/edizioni/vercelli/qui-ad-a...) salaries are 1100-1200/month AFTER taxes. My dad delivers fresh fish to restaurants, he starts working at 4am every day until 1pm the next day. He works Monday through Saturday. His pay is slightly higher than that simply because he's been there for 20+ years and is now responsible for a few other things.
At least once a month there would be a strike while I was in high school, whether that was the professors, the bus drivers, the school janitors, the delivery people, etc. I don't think this is gonna be any more useful than those strikes; the difference is that Amazon can fire them, while those other strikes were "safe" because they are all state jobs which you can not be removed from. Curious to see how this plays out.
- CamTin 9y agoHe works 37 hours at a stretch 6 days a week?
- FanaHOVA 9y agoNot sure what math you are doing, but 4am - 1pm is 9 hours of work, over 6 days that's 54 hours.
- CamTin 9y ago"4am every day until 1pm the next day" is 37 hours if you take it literally. Mathematically this obviously can't be true. Your interpretation of "4am until 1pm the same day" is only one of many possible ways we could "fix" the sentence to mean something sensible.
