their crisis management tactic seems to be to deny, act ignorant, and bust efforts to unionize. Simultaneously, they’re boasting about their above-average minimum wage and being the most desirable place to work (at least according to Bezos who said that 94% of employees say they would recommend Amazon to a friend as a place to work). Which is a hard side-eye considering employees “filed at least 37 complaints to the National Labor Relations Board alleging interference with workers’ right to organize”.
However, complete denial about their labor cambodia whatsapp number issues may have come to an end. Jeff Bezos himself has said:
“Does your Chair take comfort in the outcome of the recent union vote in Bessemer? No, he doesn’t. I think we need to do a better job for our employees. While the voting results were lopsided and our direct relationship with employees is strong, it’s clear to me that we need a better vision for how we create value for employees – a vision for their success.
We’ll see if his promises to do better will stand the test of time.
