We all know Amazon doesn't actually hire these warehouse workers, they use shell firms, aka 'staffing agencies.' Bloomberg is obviously perpetuating false positive talking points for Amazon here.
Personally, I don't think robotic picking arms are going to solve any problems, only introduce new ones.
> Upon learning the starting pay was $18.25 an hour, the man said he couldn’t afford to pay rent on that wage.
Yeah, that was a fair wage back in 2005. It's a starvation wage in most metros today. But, we need to learn as a society to not just walk off when we hear this. Always, always accept the job. This will keep them from actually fulfilling the job since they're planning on you working there.

- leetcrew 4y agoit means accept the offer but no call no show on your first day. this could be a serious inconvenience for a small business, but it's not going to impact the operations of an FC unless a lot of people do it.
- isbjorn16 4y agoAccept the job, never show up. It's petty, but when the system is rigged sometimes petty is the only viable "fuck you" left
- robertlagrant 4y agoI should've guessed from the "as a society" that it was something like that. Thanks.
- mrnotcrazy 4y agoIt sounds like they are saying take the job and then don't show up? Cause this will cause them an inconvenience? I don't know if that is a good approach OR maybe I also don't understand what they meant.
