My guess is that most of the labor cost is due to delivery and not the warehouse. If they advocate for higher wages in the warehouse, regulators and the general public will be less suspicious of the policies that drive the lion's share of their labor costs.
I'm sure if they thought they could get away with "subcontracting (wink wink)" all of their labor positions so that they are not liable for the wage theft that must occur to meet the contracts, they would do so.
- oceanghost 6y agoI think you're correct. I used to get advertisements all the time for "logistics.amazon.com". Which if you were to believe it, Amazon wants to "help" you start a delivery business, with as little as $10k to invest. Think about that for a second. Instead of paying delivery drivers and providing capital (trucks, gasoline, insurance, etc). Amazon wants YOU to pay them for the privilege. They've turned what should be a job into a contracting business with one, predatory customer. Amazon.
