So your right, people have a choice to leave. The only advantage corperations have on people is that people are afraid to leave because it's a catch22. Stay in the crud job, or lose employment. That's the arm twist.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The best thing employees can do is a mass walkout.

Never said corporations are people. I said they are organized by the people.

The only way a corporation will fear its workforce is the existence of a competition.

Keep in mind, a government is just another corporation but without any competition.

Bezos is a conservative with his life and business.. he is a Democrat donor with regards to politicians because they are the most corrupt and easily controlled...

Nobody is forced to work for Amazon, or any other corporation for that matter. But folks like the OP want democrats to force Americans to stay in their home and hide from a virus that has a mortality rate of less than 1%, and kills mostly old people who already have a number of preexisting conditions.

He's benefited spectacularly from democrat money and subsidies, while the average American is forced to compete with illegals in a race to the bottom.

AMAZON is cancelling "hero pay" for its Canadian workforce, despite rising infections in its warehouses - and as CEO Jeff Bezos prepares to become the world's first trillionaire.

The word “ temporary” seems to elude some.

Some media calling it a “ pay cut”.

Considering the huge number of people employed at both Walmart and AMZ, the infection/ death rate is relatively low. It would be challenging to prove infections were acquired at work. Unlike some of the meat processing plants, it looks like both companies have taken all reasonable precautions to protect their employees.

I have no idea the number/ locations of AMZ in Canada or the state of infection rates in those cities/ Provences.

50% of AMZ orders are facilitating third party sellers, commonly small businesses who choose to use the AMZ platform to market to the masses.

It is also possible the volume of orders/ fulfillment is returning to normal levels thus reading OT.

AMZ provides a better overall total comp package than can be found elsewhere, for similar work.

AMZ employees, like all employees are free to seek employment elsewhere.
