The response should be that that location is being closed. And, there should be a sign adjacent to it stating, This Space For Rent.
No business should be subject to Blackmail by Leftists in Leftist states with the outrageous costs of living voted for by idiots who then demand that a business compensate them for their idiotic political policies.
But, Bezos himself is a Leftist so who knows what he will do.
what’s the basepay???
Wage-price spiral in action. Say Amazon raises the wages — then Amazon raises prices to pass on the increased labor cost — then the employees want more money — then the prices go up again — then . . . .
Ten years ago, Jeff Bezos planned to restrain labor costs by steadily investing in automation.
The cost, complexity, and develop time for automation turned out to be much higher than anyone imagined.
Jeff Bezos resigned as CEO and appointed himself Executive Chairman of Amazon about one year ago.
I think Bezos clearly saw there was no way he could keep the lid on labor unrest anymore, so he dumped 100% of the responsibility onto a new CEO.
The reason the work is not "safer" can be answered because, as the last line of the fund raising ads asking for even more money to support PBS says "people just like you."
The people who rob the workers during deliveries are not the decent citizens who look like Judge Smails.
Some punk stole one of my Amazon packages. When they found out it was not worth anything to sell to buy drugs they threw the contents into the dumpster as I saw later in the afternoon. I should order things easier to pawn, I guess.
Porch pirates are not people just like me.
Bezos is a multi-billionaire liberal. Why doesn’t he give workers anything they want?
Couldn’t happen to a better company. /s
Easier to shut down the distribution site.
I wonder what a five dollar per hour raise would actually cost Amazon? What are the real numbers?
Smarter negotiators would have noticed that Amazon has been scaling back operations and closing fulfillment centers all over the Country, while putting up a few new ones at the same time...
YOU want a $5 RAISE?
Get an education & perform a job WELL that pays more.
KSBD - built on and around the former Norton Air Force Base.
San Bernardino and surrounding Indland Empire towns and cities have become major hosts to shipping and distribution hubs. KSBD itself is only a few miles from either the major east/west bound Interestate 10 and the north/south bound Interstate 15 but - to the good - removed from the higher traffic density of Los Angeles/Long Beach area. What does not arrive/leave the KSBD facilities by air comes/gets there by trucks.
What is hard to figure is how the city of San Bernardino touted the remake of Norton Air Force Base into a civilian transportation hub - which it has become - San Bernardino itself has no way near moved up economically, inspite of the growth of KSBD. San Bernardino has lagged in population growth, growing below the county average in the last twenty years, while growth in towns west and north of it (and south of it in Riversde County) have grown more. The same has been true for real estate values. Its like in spite of itself, San Bernardino never got its act together after Norton AFB closed.
And they’ll vote Democrat, who will create inflation, so they’ll demand another raise, and then they’ll vote Democrat, who will...
