Amazon has suspended at least 50 warehouse employees who refused to work their shifts following a trash compactor fire at one of its New York facilities, according to union organizers.
Before Covid, I worked at a biodiesel plant in Central Texas, & there were 4 crews totaling about 2 dozen guys where our shifts were 4 12 hour days, 4 days off, 4 12 hour nights, 4 days off. The last 30 minutes of every 12 hour shift had the leaving crew filling the incoming crew of everything that happened, especially everything that went wrong or broke, including leaking pipes, broken glass jars, missing tools, tires going flat on forklifts, & so much more. This was important for 2 key reasons: 1) If something went wrong that got reported to higher ups, they could find out who or what caused it & if it could be fixed or needed to be replaced as soon as possible, & 2) It was a means of providing a safety check for the incoming crews of any potential issues they might face over the next shift. That company clearly cared more about keeping all of its 20-30 employees safe despite having a much smaller yearly profit margin the Amazon does.
Seriously. Amazon is just in case your desperate, need something fast and temporary. While at Amazon you should apply for other jobs, also someone said mta, do Amazon while mta gets back to you, they take a while but eventually do
I spoke with a ex Amazon employee now EMS he told me if you report any safety issue they will fire you he's supervisor told him to quit and applied again!
Ever see those Amazon ads where they tout how well they pay and treat their workers? Did you know many of their delivery drivers are outsourced to cut down on cost and benefits. Even the ones in the grey Amazon vans and uniforms can be a private company.
@@lymarie1974 Yes. Even some of the big grey "Amazon" vans are owned by subcontractors. So, while Amazon publicly touts that they pay a minimum of $15 and treat their employees well. They have no control on what subcontractors are paying their drivers.
@@mikefagan6840 the same for me, mine was a young lady who did Uber. Uber?? My husband and I apologized for our curiosity. She explained since we only live 20 minutes from the Amazon warehouse, they use Uber drivers for some local deliveries. Her little Honda was packed to the brim.
@@mikefagan6840 That has been going on for a few years. You know they are subcontracted. Most people don't know that the uniformed delivery person in the grey Amazon van might also be working for a subcontractor (who supplies the van also).
Yall fighting a losing battle, too many people looking for work and they will walk through your protest to get to the front door to get hired. If you dont like the place go find a company that will value you more.
There are 1.7 jobs per 1 job seeker now. Why don’t these guys quit and find safer job if they are concerned about safety? Those guys just want to annoy successful business and get some money.
Hahaha I didn’t participe when I was working there, but anyway I’m glad for that 😊😊😊😅😅😅 why ? Because I get fired too and the working environment was stressful by some employee that was discriminated me to be Hispanic Latin !!!!
I’m surprised to hear that because it’s usually the other way around. Hispanics have all the jobs. They make sure other groups don’t get it. Then y’all talk in your language to keep information from others. 💁🏽♀️
The FDNY said the building was safe and 90 percent of them went back to work with no health issues. The small group just did not want to work. Fire the freeloaders. And I'm not boycotting Amazon. I'll be ordering from them today. Lazy slackers.
@@lindabeautyhealthandentert4023 Everybody needs more money. We must rely on ourselves, not heads of companies and governments to take care of us. Self monitoring and self sufficiency works.
