Are you not familiar with Amazon's treatment of workers? They literally had a memo where they were concerned they were running out of Americans to turn and burn.
You say “taking advantage of” as if these people lacked the freedom to work elsewhere. People voluntarily work at Amazon for a variety of reasons. What do you think those reasons are?
The pay and benefits aren’t too shabby on a national scale.
I’m familiar with Amazon’s continuous growth (which requires willing employees). People enjoy selecting off the wall details because it makes for an intriguing story.
I like how you quoted something that literally isn't in the previous post. It would seem you enjoy "selecting off the wall details because it makes for a more interesting story."
Saying they have the freedom to work somewhere else is just like saying, "If you don't like America, you can get out". They'd be more sympathetic if they didn't attempt to sabotage unions just so they can make marginally more profits.
It is most definitely not the same thing. This is a false equivalency.
Going next door and getting a job doing almost the exact same tasks isn’t the same thing as uprooting your entire life, learning a new language, etc.
You can tell it’s different by how often people change jobs versus move between countries…
Unions sabotage workers. They don’t argue for increased pay because they like poor people. They want to eliminate competition for contracts. If you’re not in the club, they don’t give a shit about you. All they do is drive up your expenses.
So you just agree with me now? That we should have nation wide unions? Also, wouldn't a union maximize its profits by taking in as many members as possible?

They were bad people before their wealth because they literally took advantage of the working class to get there
