How Amazon Warehouses Could Shape The Future Of Blue-Collar Workers | NBC News NOW
They hire people every day because they fire people everyday
Warehouse work is slave work. Why would anyone want that to be the future. Skilled workers are the future.
Another race to the bottom
The union vote wasn't even close! ÂÂÂ
All the media hype about how poorly Amazon workers are treated didn't match with how Amazon workers actually feel. Amazon pays a base $15per hour entry position wage, 401k, medical, dental, paid vacation, and stock options. I guess the workers are much happier then the media portrays the situation.
Lol … "They pay a whole lot in taxes"
In reference to what? How much my toddler pays?
1:24 There is no way this person is a robotic tech. She's just using a tablet in a warehouse. At most it is a robot operator. Amazon might call the job a robotic technician, but that's not what it is.
A real robotics tech would test and troubleshoot, run diagnostics, program the robots, use diagrams, disassemble and fix robots, solder, connect cables, etc.
The new definition of woke companies and all companies should be that they provide a defined retirement, no contract workers, health care benefits, and bragging rights on how many employees the company retained for 20+ years. All of this I helped homeless once, or I stood up for progressive politics is just putting lipstick on a pig. Hire train retain take care of your employees then you will be in good standing with the people. The people must demand this of Amazon.
Fake!
If you compare EBAY vs AMAZON
Amazon they will shipping next day (not always)
But Ebay is $5,$10,$20 cheaper plus you don't pay monthly subscription.
😬😬😬
Automation is coming, machines dont ask for raises and they dont catch covid
Propaganda, direct from the plutocrats…. Putting a nice face on worker exploitation and corporate greed.
Do you realize how many small businesses Amazon has crushed? Those small businesses actually paid their fair share of taxes.
They do not pay a whole lot of taxes
“Future of blue color work†Meanwhile, they’re implementing AI and robotics to replace everyone.
Unionize with militancy
Over the course of more than a century, worker rights have struggled forward 1 step at a time.
But with Amazon Prime membership, we can take 2 steps back overnight.
Boston Dynamics is developing a robotic system for Amazon right now. It will be able to replace over 95% of warehouse jobs. The rich and powerful better start figuring out a way to eliminate 1/2 of the world's population or they will be invading the Hamptons.
They didn’t pay taxes last year lol
why do I have the feeling Stephanie was ordering toothpaste and toilet paper from Amazon as the report about workers played
Peeing in a bottle while a Robot tells you to "pick up the pace meatbag"
More Competitive Competition coming soon. Amazon? ðŸ¤â€Â

Picking robots will follow next at Amazon.
With Biden. We could go home and sit on the couch watching CNN, while we collect our Universal Income check on the mail. No need to leave home, or even having an ID.
Amazon owner makes Trillions while the workers can't get 20 bucks an hour.
