Amazon used ‘neo-Nazi’ guards to control workers in German factory scandal
- bayesianhorse 14y agoThis was a particularly dumb thing to do, but to be fair to Amazon, it was hardly intentional or part of the company policy. Luckily there was very little "evil" done or intended, at least compared to similar work places in Germany, and the wages involved are often higher than comparison wages. Even though in Germany we discriminate heavily against Neonazis to an extent that would make some democracies cry, we can't really ban them from any work. Nevertheless, Amazon is already feeling the heat, both commercially and in the public discussion. It's a reminder that labor sub-contractors should not be chosen due to price only.
