It may not have a huge effect on Amazon's bottom line, but we're in an age in which " voting with your wallet" is a frequent form of activism. Your dollars matter. The Spanish group Amazon En Lucha is also calling for a customer boycott.Do the timed bathroom breaks and less-than-minimum-wage pay still feel worth that epic deal? Because Amazon treats them terribly. Remember when Amazon patented tracking wristbands that spy on warehouse workers? What about the claims of exhaustion, dehydration, and injuries, as reported by Minnesota Public Radio? In addition to sub-par working conditions, they're not getting paid enough to survive (the median salary was $28,446 in 2017), which leaves many workers turning to food stamps to get by, according to The Daily Beast.Jeff Bezos just became the richest person in modern day history, with a net worth of $150 billion. And it seems to be working - "Amazon En Lucha," a workers' group in Spain, tweeted a photo of the empty warehouse parking lot. "The message is clear - while the online giant gets rich, it is saving money on the health of its workers,” Stefanie Nutzenberger, a spokesperson for the German union Verdi, said in a statement on the organization's website. Their primary complaint: horrible working conditions.
In Spain and Germany, for example, the strike is slated to last until Wednesday. Amazon's workers are on strike. On Monday, Amazon employees worldwide didn't show up to work.
