Let's begin with ourselves by not supporting Amazon through our purchases or curtailing them. It is the demand that drives these quotas. Warehousing has never been easy work and unsung. I have a 30 year history in distribution through the "natural foods industry" - this now in name only. The major "natural" distributor in this country subscribes to the life threatening quota policy that Amazon imposes. 14 hour shifts, minimal breaks, then start the grind all over again.Folks working in the cooler, the freezer. It is brutal but we the people drive the demand. It is on us. Live simply so that others may live....
I've long refused to deal with Amazon, also quit watching Stephen Colbert simply because he has a deal with Amazon. I'm all for the workers, and I wish them well.
I wonder how many refuse to buy at Amazon because of their disgusting treatment of their workers. I should think every day there's a tipping point for many customers who cancel their subs and will never go back to Amazon. In the UK there have been TV ads showing exceptionally happy and fulfilled Amazon workers, so Bezos is a shameless, bullying liar as well as one of the world's leading jerks. Amazon is a hugely successful business that has, however, finished off many other businesses, and notorious for its treatment of workers - and vendors, in fact. It would do wonders for the Amazon image if it cleaned up its act, but perhaps Bezos is too greedy and stupid to see that.
From interviews with Chris Smalls and others on Status Coup News by Jordan Chariton, the workers said that Prime is the part they advised boycotting. If I remember correctly, that is where a lot of injuries and problems occur. Those orders have to be super-rushed. People want their jobs, they want protections and rights. Putting Amazon out of business is not the goal.
It may get old every time you report on Amazon I make this suggestion, but Bezos/Amazon should be funding free at-home cardboard pickup for all Prime customers - out of their billions in annual profits. It doesn't take a ton of Amazon deliveries to overwhelm homeowners and trash collectors. Of course, a month or so ago when I suggested this here at Drop[Site] - Jeff Bezos then sold billions in Amazon stock within days.

Merry Strike-mas, you brave, wise, wonderful Amazon workers!
I'm full of respect and excitement for you. Lead the way, and by your example liberate more workers into agents of change and hope.
Lets see how the mainstream zionist controled media reports on this strike.
What kind of slant they will take?
We are very lucky to have Drop Site reporting at this time.
Lose the “Zionist controlled “.
NO

I stopped ordering stuff from Amazon years ago when I learned about their working conditions and how abysmal they are!
Lets see if amazon owns any strike breaking politicians.
Go you guys GO! So instead of giving you guys a raise Mr. BEEEEzos decided to contribute to the rump inauguration ceremony.

Strength in numbers so let’s start by boycotting Amazon to support their workers.
Support small businesses.

I hope Boston is part of this. I stopped using Amazon a long time ago as they are Zionist supporters and funders.
Watch the new documentary Union about Chris Smalls and JFK8. Very inspiring.

Now there's a "Walter Mitty" for you. ;)
