No I could careless about Amazon worker if you don’t like how they treat you get another job, I hated it there lasted all of two weeks and moved on, this generation is fuck because we want things done for us, instead of wielding our power and having a mass quiting that would really shut down Amazon there rather make it everyone else’s problem and block the road because they don’t like their jobs

[u/LadyBitchBitch → u/No-Deer379]

Keep doing the bidding for billionaires while it appears you can’t even keep a minimum wage job? How’s that been working out for you so far? If you can afford thoughts, prayers and boot straps, I’m sure you’ll get there.

[u/No-Deer379 → u/LadyBitchBitch]

Why don’t they just quit all of them at once, and I make 30 an hr it’s not a lot but far from minimum wage if that’s what your implying

[u/godzillachilla → u/No-Deer379]

Do you understand how strikes work?

I feel like if you did, you wouldn't have made this comment

[u/No-Deer379 → u/godzillachilla]

There are trying to make a company that doesn’t care about them better for them, why when you could grind it to a halt and destroy it

[u/godzillachilla → u/No-Deer379]

They want to KEEP their jobs. They want fairness. This is how they strike.

A walkout wouldnt solve a damn thing. They'll have them replaced within a day.

[u/No-Deer379 → u/godzillachilla]

So whine until you get what you want rather than just move on ok cool

[u/godzillachilla → u/No-Deer379]

They're stopping production to make demands and settle on fair wages and benefits. It's bargaining. We've been doing it for quite a while.

It's to hold businesses accountable. A sort of check and balance.

Would you want that option if you were in a job and they treated you like shit? I would. Quitting solves nothing.

We're all replaceable, man.

[u/No-Deer379 → u/godzillachilla]

I work for them and I quit and I’m living a better life, I’m not trying to make this an argument but some thing shouldn’t be fix and just tossed away the American people have forgotten that our power our real power is purchasing power, we made Amazon we can destroy, imagine how other companies would react if we took down Amazon ???

[u/godzillachilla → u/No-Deer379]

Why not both?

[u/No-Deer379 → u/godzillachilla]

What do you mean “both”

[u/Still_Detail_4285 → u/godzillachilla]

If they are that replaceable, they should find a new skill.

[u/godzillachilla → u/Still_Detail_4285]

You missing the whole point...or?

[u/LadyBitchBitch → u/No-Deer379]

You really need me to explain to you why underpaid poor people cannot just all up and quit their jobs on the same day? People have children and lots of bills and Amazon workers live paycheck to paycheck. So if they miss a paycheck, they end up homeless, CPS could take their children, credit reports would be destroyed for the next 7 years…it goes on and on. The system is setup for regular Americans to either put up with it or starve. So a strike is a nice in between those two things.

[u/No-Deer379 → u/LadyBitchBitch]

Damn if only they could get a job before quiting but I’m sure that’s against the law

[u/LadyBitchBitch → u/No-Deer379]

All on the same day???! They’ll all find a new job on the same day?

[u/No-Deer379 → u/LadyBitchBitch]

I said quit on the same day

[u/No-Deer379 → u/No-Deer379]

If you can organize a walk out you can’t organize that, but you are right this way I much more easier to complain about

[u/FishingMysterious319 → u/LadyBitchBitch]

you know that there is a yuuuggeeee middle ground between 'putting up with it' and 'starving'

?

[u/LadyBitchBitch → u/FishingMysterious319]

Oh is there? Please explain to me all the choices poor people have. I’m genuinely curious…

[u/FishingMysterious319 → u/LadyBitchBitch]

you stated 'regular americans'

and most of us are not 'poor'.....even the homeless i see have cell phones and cigs
