(unclear to me whether this is regional for now)

They should. That scumbag has them working with no gloves or masks provided. I’ve interviewed several of them in the street and some have said there are sick people going to work. That’s BS.

It's nothing. It is at one location and about 200 workers. Hardly the end of the world for Amazon.

gotta strike while the iron's hot. "Bump our pay Bezos, or the country starves."

Sounds like commie BS. You get paid what you're worth. If you are easily replaceable, then there's no more a pay increase.

Typical that people who bemoan a "screwed education system" want a pay bump.

As a side note, the idea of strikes was valid when the labor market was tight. Now, with 30% unemployment he can replace pretty much any number of bodies at will.
