Comment on Workers at Amazon UK warehouse to walk out on Black Friday

It doesn’t really matter how much non-Amazon warehouse workers get. If you’re exploited, you’re exploited and this doesn’t depend on the working conditions of other people in the industry.

It applies to all aspects of life. It should always be “am I treated fairly” not “am I treated better than others”.

OK. How are they being exploited? I simply don’t know from the article. Can you explain?

  I know it’s a long shot from me, but Amazon is known for exploitative practices. But if you’re paid so badly that protest is your only option then yeah you’re being subject to exploitation.

    TIL Amazon can prevent people from getting a different job.

    I’ve heard that too. I’ve heard the stories about toilet breaks in the US and what not. I’m not disputing that. I just wanted to understand why this strike is happening. Miscellaneous exploitative practices doesn’t seem very specific.
    
    Maybe I’m asking the wrong forum for this information maybe nobody knows. That’s cool. I hoped to learn that “Amazon aren’t doing X and we want them to do Y otherwise we strike”.
