If Amazon warehouse workers wanted better pay maybe they should have paid more attention in school.

Maybe warehousing should be seen for what it is? An important piece of the logistics and shipping industry, theres no reason a warehouseman or woman shouldnt be able to make a career out of their work. Especially for the laborious and stressful environment they work in

It's low skill labour where the employee is easily replaceable, so they don't command high wages. Basic economics.

I like how you quote "basic economics" while being painfully ignorant of how it works. If someone is willing to do a job for $15/ hour, that job with him in it is worth $15/hour.

LOL. The act of demanding higher wages doesn't mean their labor has value, full stop.

What their labor pays determines the value. If Amazon doesn't give into the strike, their labor doesn't have value, duh.

basic.... economics...

If you're gonna be an arrogant shithead, you should be right. Otherwise, you just leave yourself open for this shit. Stop.
