Do you think that’s the only warehouse that’s like this? Have you ever worked at a warehouse? I have. For 8.25. I had to work a second job AND sell weed to pay rent. So I’m one of those people and I don’t think it’s an unfair assessment. When I got fed up with humping in the heat/cold, I got another job. Most people aren’t stuck, their just complacent. As soon as you start suggesting things to make things better that requires extra effort, “uhh uhh uh uh huh..”.
I'm not sure how your testimony to working in garbage conditions for low wages that forced you to need a second job is proving that people should be acceptant of poor work conditions. That's like saying people who work in sweat shops in poor countries should just go farm or something instead of work tirelessly for pennies.
I don't think amazon is the only one with ****ty conditions. I'm not against all warehouses being set to a standard to protect its employees. People mentioned amazon exploiting workers because this is a thread about amazon.
Nobody is calling for amazon warehouse workers to get $30 an hour and free lunch everyday. but if you've read some of the testimony in lawsuits against amazon for their work conditions, it's pretty brutal.
