Reply to comment by cavan47 in Amazon Faces Black Friday Protests, Strikes in 40 Countries by nacorom

The fact that everyone moves a few hundred products around a day ranging from $2-$500 and only get paid bare minimum the drivers get paid less than any other mail or delivery company and warehouse workers same. For the richest company in the world they could add at least a couple dollars an hour on their wages.

Serious question: what do you do for work that pays more, same or better health benefits, with better conditions, without training/certification/education/years of experience?

Not arguing - genuinely asking.

Amazon as a whole makes money but about %90 of the profit is in aws that's where I'm trying to go. Raises could definitely happen but in the current economy where we are closing sites and letting go of people I don't see raises happening for any warehouse workers especially sense they just gave everyone $1 raise at sites in my area early oct. I know not everyone got that much but those site were already above $15
