“It is a crime that Amazon makes billions off their backs while they can’t even afford to buy a home near the warehouse.”
Randy Korgan, Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division and Secretary-Treasurer of Local 1932.
Can confirm, I considered an engineering job in Riverside in ~2018. The salary offered to me as an early-to-mid career engineer was barely enough for the cheapest 1 bedroom apartment I could find. When I asked for a salary study, I was told “people make sacrifices” to work in CA and that I could find something cheaper by renting a room under the table or by commuting an hour-plus. If they would do that to a “white-collar” professional, imagine the coercion towards an hourly laborer consider low or “no” skilled.
Good luck, folks working at DJT6. I’ll be cheering for you.
Big names have a big draw. So they treat people like shit.
Wow they call their facilities DJT now?
Yeah, I’m really curious about the naming. Most places use nearby airport codes, of which I can’t find any matching codes nearby. Also they usually start numbering from 1 and I can’t find any facilities numbered 1-5. Does anyone have more information on the naming as this looks really weird.
DJT 1-5 are probably for-profit slave colonies, I mean, detention centers, and not publicized. Amazon probably took a page from Apple and has netting under the windows so they don’t lose labour to petty things like suicide.
Good on them. I said over the radio on at a retail store that when they ask for extra help on gathering karts to start unionizing then
probably not a good idea to join a very conservative UNION in partnership.
I mean I don’t know if I would trust the teamsters of all unions but it’s better nothing I guess.
