Assertion 1: they have enough as it is, and should not seek collective bargaining as a sign of loyalty or something.
Ridiculous. If they're well-treated now, it is not by the benevolence of the company, but more likely because they could be paid much more and still turn a handsome profit.
Assertion 2: not being the bottom of the barrel means improvement is not to be sought.
Clearly a ridiculous position again: others having a shitty situation does not mean that you should count your blessings and stop seeking improvement.
- MuffinFlavored 6y agoPut it into numbers. How much would you like to see an Amazon warehouse worker make? Remember, mom + pop warehouses need to be competitive too. They don't have a multi-billion dollar "cloud platform" to move profits from around. I'm guessing Amazon already pays between $15-$17/hr. What would you like to see, $20? $25? Wouldn't that just push Amazon to automate harder/faster, putting these people from $15/hr -> $0/hr when they are out of a job altogether when it vanishes?
