Update On UPS & Amazon Labor Fights | Luis Feliz Leon | Alicia Ozier | TMR
Sam and Emma have a conversation with journalist Luis Feliz Leon and Amazon labor activist Alicia Ozier. Amazon workers at a fulfillment center in Pontiac went on strike, expressing their frustration over working conditions and wages. The workers argued that Amazon promotes the center as a career opportunity, yet many of them have to resort to side gigs like Doordash or Uber to make ends meet. They highlighted the growing physical demands of the job, including handling larger and heavier packages, as well as concerns about unbearable heat and lack of essential amenities like fans and water. The workers pointed to Amazon's record profits, which reached over $230 billion in annual profits, and the recent Prime Day event that generated more than $12.7 billion in profits during a two-day sale. Amazon's response emphasized that most employees earn between $16 and $26 per hour and have access to benefits, while only a small percentage of employees participated in the protest.
