“The great corporation which employed you lied to you, and lied to the whole country—from top to bottom it was nothing but one gigantic lie.”
― Upton Sinclair, The Jungle
In this bonus episode we hear from Matt, who was recently fired from an Amazon Warehouse in Campbellsville, KY for attempting to organize a union with his coworkers in response to brutal working conditions that involve walking more than 20 miles per shift, temperatures that can rise as high as 100* in workspaces, breaking bones, and more. The abuse of Amazon doesn’t stop in the Warehouse though… this company is attempting to turn the whole country into one big company town from the sounds of it: Amazon Care health services? “Affordable housing” for workers who get evicted as soon as they aren’t working for the company? Data ownership that links employee data with customer data and healthcare data? Clearance to GOVERN their own townships?
