I had initially assumed that this was a story about Amazon warehouse workers in, say, China, and not in the mainland U.S.A.
I was wrong.

Painlives,
How about taking the next 6 months away from the Café and championing the rights for such a good cause as better working conditions for those poor oppressed Amazon workers. You could be the new Norma Ray. And as always, please provide a link to the results.

Edit: Having read through it, they're worse...though I seem to recall a summer where our AC was down for a week, and we weren't allowed water on the floor (only cashiers can have bottled water). Or the two weeks that the heater was out in the winter and we weren't allowed to have pullovers, even if they matched the Walmart colors. Of course, cashiers were exempt from that rule, too. Did I mention I was banned from the "Townhall Meetings" when I worked there? |
