I am sympathetic to labor issues at amazon and other places, but a lot of tech criticism seems out of place and undue. Amazon warehouses don't seem fun (i've never done that job) but they do pay fairly well above min wage, which they deserve some credit for. If anything it validates the Senators' pushes for better wages proving it won't bankrupt businesses.
It seems obvious that amazon would want this to be the focus, instead of bottles of pee. They could be a great ally to democrat politicians pursuing changes - amazon shows they can be a trillion dollar biz with change X, amazon isn't chastised in WashingtonDC. Win-Win.

My friend works at UPS, is a teamsters member, and said: "Every single male delivery driver ever has peed in a bottle at some point". Which makes this particular criticism of Amazon lose its sting. Instead of simply telling the truth, they decided to lie?
