Fuck you Amazon. I'm going to inconvenience myself a lot more from now on to stop giving you money.
-
can you quit earth entirely please
-
An international Amazon union could accomplish that.

Maybe having some laws that if a company decides to close a business after unionization then any remaining Canadian company assets are taxed at a rate to pay a reasonable living wage to those displaced. The alternative being complete withdrawal from the country.
-
Even better, having laws that above a certain size, companies MUST have unions.
-
20 or 50 people in my country, depending on sector, apparantly. Just had to look it up.
Used to know someone who had a chain of stores. He never went over the limit, he simply owned many smaller businesses that worked together under a unified brand name...
-
Yup I like it.
-
Fuck that would fix so many problems

I did not want to mix this with my other comment.
Globalization is collective bargaining in reverse. As we see here, if you unionize, the company just moves somewhere else. If you passed any of the laws you propose here, the company would simply avoid Canada all together. The outcome of that, zero jobs, is the same as what is happening now. Not an improvement.
As long as there are “other” workers and jurisdictions lining up to replace us, that “willing” replacement labour is the problem. It will be robots soon.
By the way, you get “arrested” for breaking the law. The “legal” responsibility of the CEO is to maximum returns for investors. We live in a system where the laws are the exact opposite of what you are proposing.
I do not see a legal solution that helps. A social movement will not help.
The only solution is investors.

At their immediate manager’s pay rate if not the CEO’s pay rate.

The smartest part of this comment is “and their investors”. The CEO makes us mad be he is a distraction. This behaviour is driven by the desire to increase return for investors. The CEO is just one of them. The company has to do what investors want. This is probably what they want.
We cannot “tank the stock” unless we sell it. So, again, this is an action by investors.
Unless you just want something to be mad about, stay focussed on the actual problem.

Amazon can go fuck itself!

This is not new. Walmart has done it as well.
Canadian government could give a shit.

Issue is more with American laws allowing for anti-humane treatment of workers, as has been the countries tradition since it was founded 2 decades ago.
-
Oh no - what are quebequois (sp?) going to do without an Amazon warehouse in their region?!? How will they survive?!?
-
Is there a way to download wish lists? I want my book list before I delete Amazon.
-
Screenshot and move on.

I got a bunch of hits searching with "Export Amazon Wishlist"

Is unionising not protected in Canada?
-
Yes, but Amazon said that before 2020 they used only 3rd party last mile delivery and it worked fine, so they are going back to it, "this has nothing to do with union".
-
Can we get the Panier Bleue back then?
-
I am of the opinion that it will help Québec in the long run and give local companies some breathing room to innovate, test, fail, iterate, refine and discover better way to ship to customers (I pray for something better than Intelcom/Dragonfly 🙏🤣 ).
Amazon just dropped a huge marketshare of online purchases in Québec (51% of total value in dollars), they almost had the control on how local businesses would have to reach customers online and suck every profit out of each transactions.
Moreover, Amazon will now have to deal with higher rate of return, damaged and lost packages while on less than stellar delivery (I blame specifically Intelcom).

He can shock and awe a mouldy ringpiece when workers with actual rights start laughing at the baldy cunt

The rich love convincing themselves (and the general population) that the working class and therefore society at large depends entirely on them and on their gracious "job creating" generosity to not only survive, but exist.
In reality it is the exact opposite that is true - without the workers to exploit, they are nothing, and if the workers of the world unite, we can get rid of them, and their oppressive systems, for good.
Imagine the shock and awe they would experience when that finally happens.
The average business owner maybe, but I think by the time you get to Jeff Bezos levels of avarice he knows he's not on the side of good.
Lmfao, you seriously underestimate the cognitive dissonance it takes to function at that level. If anything, he's probably even more convinced that he is the saviour of humanity than some random business owner.
