Amazon workers are crying for help 😢, but the corporate giant seems to care only about its profits šŸ“ˆ!Ā This week, a report by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) laid bare how Amazon thrives on low wages, unsafe workspaces, and union-busting tacticsĀ to maximize its earnings. The e-commerce mammoth may bring us lightning-speed deliveries šŸš€, but the cost? Workers breaking their backs—literally. šŸ‹ļøā€ā™‚ļø

āš ļø Unsafe Work Conditions

Did you know that Amazon workers are twice as likelyĀ to be injured on the job compared to other industries? šŸ¤• Whether it's pushing unrealistic delivery quotas šŸ“¦ or working in poorly ventilated warehouses, safety takes a backseatĀ for the sake of profits. Some employees have described it as being "treated like machines" šŸ› ļø, forced to skip bathroom breaks just to meet their targets.

And get this: over 600 serious injuries per 10,000 workers were reported last year, making Amazon one of the most dangerous places to work šŸ’”.

šŸ’ø Billionaire Bosses, Penniless Workers

Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos šŸš€, is one of the wealthiest people alive, while many of his workers struggle to make ends meet šŸ’µ. An average Amazon warehouse worker earns less than ₹15,000/month, which barely covers basic needs. Can we call this fair?Ā šŸ¤”

Despite repeated global protests šŸŒ, Amazon refuses to raise wages or improve working conditions. The company spends millions on anti-union campaignsĀ while slashing benefits for workers. Where’s the justice?

šŸ›‘ Union-Busting Shenanigans

In the US, UK, and even India, Amazon has been accused of crushing worker unions ✊. The company monitors social media accounts, fires outspoken employees, and uses AI to track potential union leaders. These tactics ensure that employees stay scared 😨 and powerless.

But workers are fighting back! Across Europe, labor unions have staged walkouts demanding better pay and working conditions šŸš¶ā€ā™€ļøšŸš¶ā€ā™‚ļø. In India too, e-commerce workers are raising their voices against low wages and excessive pressure.
