Amazon and google use lots of "contract" workers to avoid hiring them and treating them like human beings.
Repetitive stress Injuries at the amazon distribution centers are widely known. Walmart has a history of being anti-women.
This is especially bad as a large number of these employees require government assistance (our taxpayer money) because these corporations refuse to pay a livable wage. Eat the rich
People who are angry about billionaires, but are still using their companies? Shopping local, buying local food and hardware is maybe more expensive, but leads to local jobs, stores being close and villages and small towns shops not being boarded up and dead. Vote with you feet.
General Motors paid factory workers $20/hour back in 1970 and you could buy a nice home for $20,000. The fact that wages haven't increased since 1970 is an abomination for America's workers.
It’s made worse if you compare how many employees, especially full time employees, that are on assistance programs. The workers on federal &state assistance programs aren’t the problem, they’re working &contributing to society.
Greedy corporations are destroying this country. They’re responsible.
Never forget that these companies could easily pay their employees a good living wage, with benefits, and humane work rules - and still have enough to provide their owners with an elitist lifestyle.
That's where the indifference and arrogance comes in.
Bozos used to get a pass because he seemed cool and reasonably progressive, as opposed to the Waltons. But now we can see that there’s no daylight between them. He is as much of an evil billionaire as Leon; he’s just quieter.
And those are the ones to really watch, not Leon’s exploding clown car
There's no such thing as free enterprise or free markets. Those concepts rest on presupposed notions of property rights, including rules for the acquisition and transfer of property, contracts to govern particular instances, etc. The phrasing is just meant to evoke some utopia where anything goes.
By the way I had a fed ex delivery today an immigrant ? and Amazon immigrant driver. Who do the Trumpsters think will take those jobs?????? Everyone needs to plan to pick up your parcels at the respective depots. There will be nobody to make deliveries!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💔💔💔😠😠😠
Either of those two families could easily prevent homelessness.... and not make a dent in their fortunes.
I question why only middle, and those who have even less, are the ones who contribute to charity. Very few of the filthy rich do...
That's only because if half the people who work at an Amazon distribution center or are drivers didn't show up for a few weeks, no one would notice, whereas if Bezos is out on his megayacht for a couple of hours the place has to shut down.
From 2002! Companies Profit on Workers' Deaths
Through 'Dead Peasants' Insurance Millions of current and former workers at hundreds of large companies are thus worth a great deal to their employers dead, as well as alive, yielding billions of dollars in tax breaks over the years,
as well as a steady stream of tax-free death benefits. Nestle USA has policies covering 18,000 workers, Pitney Bowes Inc. has policies covering 23,000, and Procter & Gamble Co. has 15,000 covered workers, spokespeople for these companies confirm. https://www.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/april_19.htm
I'll scream it from the rooftops. Americans stopped showing empathy for others the day that Wall Street talked Congress into never raising the minimum wage for "most workers in service jobs" and allowed the workers to use government food stamps, housing and medical insurance on the taxpayer
And instead of forcing them to pay livable wages, the US government subsidize them by paying part of their employees' wages in SNAP food stamps. Such a smart move! 🐼
