@aral@mastodon.ar.al“The GMB estimates that paying 1,300 additional workers costs Amazon over £300,000 a week.”
Amazon would rather do this at one warehouse than have its workers form a union.
This is how much they fear unions. If this doesn’t convince you how important unions are, nothing will.

@beaware@social.beaware.liveI REALLY wanna know someone that bought this and ask them about it.
I want to know if it was worth it vs having a controller and an actual tablet or similar.
I don't have a use for it because I don't have a PlayStation, but I am curious.🤔 (Playstation Portal, game streaming device)

@cdarwin@c.imAmazon has launched a new
“one-click to quit the union” tool,
and they’re relentlessly pushing it to every worker in their Coventry warehouse.
The QR code for the tool is displayed on each table in the canteen, in every meeting and training room, in every hallway, and every toilet, as well as shown every five minutes of the working day in screens at the centre of the warehouse.
If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates…

@cdarwin@c.imHow Amazon makes everything you buy more expensive, no matter where you buy it
Amazon is very proud of its "flywheel":
at first, the company offered subsidies to customers,
which lured in sellers.
Then, it demanded that those sellers lower their prices,
which lured in more customers.
With more customers, more sellers piled in.
Faster and faster, the flywheel spins, creating the "everything store":
The flywheel is everywhe…
