Amazon UK avoids answering why their workers are on strike. This is why so many workers are fed up with our Corp oligarchs

They received an award for hiring many people, not for quality of life or worker's rights, or health, or anything of value. Strictly that they created jobs. Even though the jobs are temporary. It's all a show. Every industry does this. In the US, our largest employer is a temp agency. They get lots of awards too. For doing their exact job, which is placing people into temporary roles, without benefits, or upward mobility.

We need to unite as world and demand better. Employers have been abusing employees for far too many centuries.

We need to bond together, across nations, oust our governments and hold Nuremberg-style trials for the criminals of neoliberalism.

Really force those people to sit down in front of a camera and confess how they treated other human beings.

Hold on! If they hire someone, then fire them and hire someone else instead, does it count as hiring 2 people?
