Recent Day of the Worker now over
The labor shortage that gave workers more clout
has ended.
Now employers are gleefully screwing workers again.
The author states the cause opaquely by saying that "the economy has
slowed," choosing not to mention the cause of that: interest rate
increases by central banks, made in the name of curbing
the inflation
whose real causes they refuse
to recognize.
For some employees with special talents, this takes the form of loss
of some special perks, described in the article, plus increased unjust
surveillance. For the less influential employees
who were mistreated all along,
it takes the form of refusing to negotiate
with their unions.
But don't stop there. Amazon mistreats customers
as well as workers and everyone else.
Do as I do, and refuse to ever give your name or your address to Amazon.
