2021: Some bests and worsts in the media world
Amazon has reached a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board to allow its workers to organize freely and without retaliation.
Wednesday morning, several dozen Amazon workers at two separate Chicago-area delivery stations staged a walkout to demand raises and safer working conditions, making it the first time the tech giant has seen a multi-site work stoppage in the U.S.
For a vast majority of Americans democracy ends when work hours begin. Most people in this country are subject, as workers, to the nearly unmediated authority of their employers, which can discipline, sanction or fire them for nearly any reason
People of color and low-income residents are disproportionately affected by Amazon’s warehouses, a Consumer Reports investigation found. Amazon opens most of its warehouses in neighborhoods with a comparatively high number of people of color.
A lot of people, look at Amazon and see the size, scope and the tentacles everywhere, say it’s so huge it can never be done. But we know those tentacles mean there’s a lot of surface area, that there are a lot of people who can come into this fight.
The annual shopping frenzy will be underscored by an international day of protest against what activists say are unfair labor practices.
