I spoke for a few minutes yesterday with Amazon workers in Alabama. They told me about the heat, the absurd breaks, and the fact that if you are one minute late you lose a whole hour of pay. That is why they are standing with courage and taking on the richest man in the world.

If I was charged an hour for being a minute late, I’d take that whole hour.

Let’s shoot Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to the moon if they want to be there so badly. They can become gay lovers and leave our planet the hell alone.

That was the policy at my job until I informed the Union.

Someone should write "nationalize Amazon" into one of the pork filled federal bills that nobody reads.

It’s worse than that. They penalize you an hour of PTO, which takes several days to accumulate.

Docked an hour for being a minute late should be illegal. Maybe it is. Oh that's right. No union representation.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Oh I seriously doubt that.

Knock on a door in Georgia gets you arrested. One minute late for work loses you an hour in pay at Amazon/ Alabama. What the fuck is wrong with people in power? Time to change the system. Cooperations and their paid for politicians have run amuck. Increase the pressure on evil!
