the formation of a amazon union has put the battery in the back of a lot of labor.

As it should.

That’s what they get for trying to hog all the wealth.

It is wild to you because your mind is limited.

The only thing you're capable of seeing is what someone stacking shelves gets in comparison to someone with a more reputable position.

Your cannot see beyond the clutter and question the difference that exists between someone with a reputable position and a ceo earning 10s of millions a year.

The reason why the gap between the rich and poor continues to increase is because of people like you. You're too fixated with what the guy beneath you is getting that you don't think to question where you are in picture and the possibility that you should be getting more for what you're doing.

You're stuck on a fixed #... would you have a problem with $20?

Look at inflation and cost of living over the past $20-30 years. Look at the price of housing, education and child care compared to record profits over the same time frame and make it make sense.

If you feel like they're making too much compared to your work, then take it up with your employer. Everyone should be pushing for more money, not crying about how much people are getting for what seems like easier work than yours.

Good. A lot of idiots like @jdubnyce don't realise that the way we are living right now isn't right.

If you're working full time, should be able to meet the cost of living. Working full time in a role that requires a special set of skills should afford you perks.

We have become conditioned over the years to believe the entry level for meeting the cost of living is a job requiring a special set of skills.

#s do matter

I'm all for ensuring wages paid align to cost of living. No need to sell me on that.

From what I glean from the article, the pay range today is ~ $17-30

What's being asked for is near ~75% increase for the lowest paid tier

Sure hope they get it. I was just asking what's the justification for such an increase? Just cost of living and/or have the skills/qualifications required changed over the years.

Costs will be passed down to consumers

If it wasnt for the CEO and stockholders you wouldnt even have a job nikka

I agree let the market dictate I jus made a comment if everyone else is raising their minimum wage to 20-25 now Apple either follows code or get left behind

So apple either does better or risk getting strikes

I knew something was wrong when I saw a Wendy's closing down their lobby area 8pm on a Friday night and Drive thru closed by 10pm. It used to be 10pm lobby area closed and 2 am for the drive thru.

Now you will see even Walmart will start Unionizing.

Yeah, don't call me a nikka when your rhetoric screams bacon.

And a claim could be made to contrary when it comes to these large businesses. They're driving smaller companies out of business. The result is fewer senior positions.

Smaller companies can either do their best or get left behind to Just like the larger companies everyone is increasing their minimum wage so those smaller companies better follow suit or risk not being in business in 5 years

I have no hate against the CEO or stock holders they run the company

He still trapped in 2008 when the average worker was making $7 an hour down south.
