The problem (or a problem?) with Amazon's PR response is that they responsed to adversarial-but-reasonable assertions from politicians with blatant lies (e.g. the Amazon's pee bottle tweet https://twitter.com/amazonnews/status/1374911222361956359 https://twitter.com/amazonnews/status/1374911222361956359), and, it seems, with a manufactured fake grassroots support campaign e.g. https://gizmodo.com/theres-something-fishy-about-amazons-anti-union-twitter-1846572212 https://gizmodo.com/theres-something-fishy-about-amazons-ant...

What do the employees get out of it? One day of paid vacation and a $50 Amazon gift card, according to reports from 2019 This is disgusting. Bribing warehouse employees to give rosy descriptions of the company. The link from 2019 is even worse. Tracking them by affiliate id, to see what they said.

- visiblink 6y agoThe purpose of joining a union is to gain better wages, working conditions, and protection from mistreatment by supervisors. Then no one has to give you specific perks to entice you into saying that you like your job. You'll just say it's a good job when asked. There's a difference.
