Whether it takes 1.2 or 1.202 day to ship an order, does not matter to anyone.
I wish it would make an impact and hope it will but i seriously doubt that it will have consequences for anyone else besides the 1000 who strike.
I strongly believe that unions are important but they need move power than this. More workers need to sign up, and pay membership for the Union to be able to support a full scale strike even with compassion strikes across different branches and services
That’s total number of employees for the company at large, including dozens of subsidiaries, their various product teams, AWS (which is reportedly in the ballpark of 130k), Prime Video, marketing, and all other departments.
Do you have a breakdown of how many of those are actually factory workers?
This. I’d bet if you knew some of the inner workings of Amazon, you could hand select a few dozen employees or positions to go on strike and bring their service to a screeching halt. And the types of people that generally strike, are more likely to be in one of those positions.
1.6 mil workers worldwide.
1.1 mil in the US
1000 workers id guess wouldn’t even be missed if they never came back from the Amazon crying booth
It’s a confirmed 1150 people at a single facility. Definitely a significant number for that facility and surrounding area.
Presumably black Friday is a “all hands on deck” day, so a tiny group might make a difference.
