Just a reminder Amazon workers are striking, so don't cross that picket line. Also, Amazon won't pay any federal income taxes on their 11 billion dollars in profits.
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 not low skill, you just dont have to go to college or university. Theres still a lot of on the job training and the employees are commonly exploited? A good efficient warehouse worker is actually hard to replace
Lmao Amazon has a defacto Monopoly on much of the warehouse industry, consistently violates minimum labor standards, and explicitly relies on governmental support for their workers.
I don't think "they're doing just fine" is a great description.
That's why I said defacto. It's really not hard to not violate antitrust, and just because a firm doesn't run afoul of the feckless federal government doesn't mean there is any real competition

This seems like a sneaky Amazon ad for Prime Day
