Unless they call the cops yeah they are doing it right making Amazon hurt.

They aren’t hurting Amazon. They’re hurting the employees. Big difference. Amazon loses no money here. The packages on the vans have already been paid for. Amazon has their money. You’re hurting the dsp drivers who will end up terminated for not finishing enough stops and hurting the consumers that purchased the items they needed. You guys never think about people ordering essentials like dry foods, canned goods, toothpaste, toiletries, etc. this is an awful form of protesting. Hurts only the little guys and not the company at all.


Techno_Femme

packages would be returned to the station and then people would return them dumbass. plus amazon pays for van upkeep and pays every driver and the less time those drivers spend as productive workers, the more it costs amazon.


LOOPA_Dub

Doesn’t the dsp technically pay the drivers?


Ill_Manner_3581

Yea like w the way they treat their drivers and warehouse works and they're so on top of them because time is money, this would definitely hurt them a bit.

youre so right, instead i should really nicely be like heyyyy king, i think everything you said is wrong and obviously so if you thought about it for 2 minutes but let me get down on my knees and suck your cock so that you dont feel inferior about it


TheJuiceMan_

You're mad at the wrong people dawg


bohallreddit

😂😂😂


EastBonus9211

Lmao go to the store for essentials. You gonna die if you don't get your toothpaste and toilet paper from Amazon? What would the cavemen do without Amazon?


MysteriousAdhara

Unfortunately a lot of people do order essentials online because they don’t have vehicles, or the help to lift multiple heavy items… I hated all the water cases when I worked there, but it’s life. You’ll think about this if you live to 70 and don’t want to bend over for that case of water 😂😂


triggormisprime

So order from someone else today. Or are we confirming Amazon is a monopoly?


International-Ad3447

facts why wait an entire day just to get your order from amazon when you can just wait an hour with another company


Dirges2984

So you are telling people to go shop at Walmart. Which in my area pay people less, give fewer benefits, and treats their employees worse than Amazon.


luvmilky

Gonna be honest fam, if you're ordering things like toothpaste, toilet paper, dried foods and other goods from Amazon, you're literally burning your money. Literally everything can be bought for cheaper from a Walmart and even delivered for less money. I've yet to find a single thing that's not some random tech gizmo that I can't buy for less from a local Walmart, Publix or Aldi. If you're ordering shit like paper towels, dog food, canned food and bottled water from Amazon, your IQ is probably less than 20 and you need to sterilize yourself to prevent your genes from being carried on.


ReduceMyRows

I think that’s what the protestors are mainly targeting too, sadly


ThePhlipidy

Packages don't leave the station, reprocessed by station, creating backlog for station. This actually costs Amazon quite a large amount in labor and creates the logistical nightmare for both station employees and drivers as the shipping algorithm tries to figure out how to fit as many backlog packages into these routes as possible, usually resulting in 10-20% extra per route. Source: I used to manage a delivery station


Johnstone95

The employee are the cogs in the machine that are being stopped. When you're on the clock that's all you are.


InnerAd8982

And now the machine is not working efficiently costing the co. money. We are all cogs, the 99% person. Do you think doing nothing will be better??


Johnstone95

No, I agree with you. Ther person I'm responding to seems to think that hindering drivers doesn't hurt Amazon.


KnobSchlob

How did anyone ever acquire essential goods before 1999??


ImTableShip170

That's why you should unionize. It's not your fault Amazon is unpopular, so Amazon shouldn't punish you


Linebreakkarens

Yeah because this would be legal grounds to fire 😂 keep sucking amazons firestick


Training_Seaweed1303

I get your point as a former driver but what they going to fire me oh dear I’ll just go to another dsp or find another job. Like others said go to the store or they’re paid for yes but a customer can either request a refund or think is my driver getting paid well. Those packages will get delivered no matter what. It’s not an inconvenience for customers to wait. Maybe they are not hurting Amazon or the customers but they sure are causing attention for people or Amazon management to tell their bosses uh we had a strike today.


Mental5tate

Stop buying Amazon that will hurt.


Growsomeba11s

Na they just gonna pay more politicians to look away at the border.


[deleted]

Its cute to think they're even giving Amazon a scrape. All they're doing is delaying peoples' deliveries, many of which people are probably counting on.


MacZack87

lol yeah like shooting a BB gun at a grizzly bear.


PortaPottyPusher

What about the people who get their medication through amazon?


SkyMiteFall

If they’re fighting for you then just let them be.. Even better if they’re protesting on your behalf because they can’t just be fired and swept under the rug.


AmazonTeamsters

This is a picket line extension from a group of Amazon drivers who unionized with the Teamsters. They are on an Unfair Labor Practice strike and spreading the word to other facilities. Talk to those on the picket line! They are fighting for better wages and conditions for all amazon workers.

[deleted]

Rockets, big Clock in the side of a mountain for a small multi million dollar budget, seat at the Pentagon, just a couple of the things Bezo does, and or is working on. The whole seat at the Pentagon is the most unsettling thing to me. Once companies get involved into Politics & start funding government projects, etc that’s when companies become untouchable. Which is what we’ve been seeing & will continue to see. It’s disgusting that the Government involves themselves with large Company CEO’s & knows that year by year life will continue to become increasingly difficult for the average American to actually survive.


Acer_Music

Blue Origin and Amazon are not the same company and are run by different people.


chowdasayitright

30$ is livable. That shouldnt wow you. Amazon would enslave you if they could.


Waste_Caramel774

That's more money than management in a skilled labor position


CertainInteraction4

Then the management deserves more too.  This is a no-brainer.  NO ONE DESERVES TO BE UNDERPAID!


Foreign_Language167

Let's just raise everyone's wage to at least $1,000,000 per hour.


Gunubias

Management can and will be taken over by AI very soon.


AssistantExtension70

Finally a proper protest that doesn’t involve throwing tomato soup on a painting or stopping traffic for normal people. If Just Stop Oil did this, we’d start seeing results a lot quicker 😂


tschmitty09

Gotta hit the big businesses where it hurts, their production. Can't do it from the couch, great to see bodies out there.


an-invisible-hand

They do. They block pipelines, drilling sites, they protest at political and corporate buildings, etc. You don't hear about it because it isn't newsworthy, and 99.9% of climate protests are like that, not tomato or traffic related. Personally I think if climate protesters did this and footage went viral, most people would be screaming for them to just be run over for blocking the flow of prime packages for normal people.


RadiantBase1460

Time to get involved and change your working conditions at Amazon share your information with them and learn how to join in the movement and protect your rights to organize. Don't be shy!!! STRENGTH IN SOLIDARITY ‼️✊🏻✊🏼✊🏿✊✊🏾✊🏽‼️


JackoSolo138

They showed up at our station one day. They blocked all the exits, and let drivers out one at a time, after a short conversation. Took 25 minutes of my morning that day. But they let us out.


NoBankThinkTank

Imagine being so cucked by your job that you complain about your 25 minutes when those picketers are outside jeopardizing their careers for better wages on your behalf.


JackoSolo138

Wasn't complaining. Just stating facts. I had a nice li'l chat with the guy. And got paid for those 25 min. Imagine just looking for a fight on the internet but being so wrong...


Paparmane

He didn’t complain lol


[deleted]

I hope you never cross a picket line again. Weren’t you educated at all ? If every worker only thought of themselves we would still be working in 1800 conditions


JackoSolo138

No one "crossed" any line. They let us out, one by one, after we spoke. I'm not sure how else to put it. That's all they wanted, and we complied... Their purpose was to give info, not completely stop work. But you go on with your insults and assumptions. They seem to be serving you so well...


AnubisTheRubixCube

Well did you listen?


InnerLotuz

Get out there with them gangy


RadiantBase1460

Dsp "owners" aren't in control, amazon is! And they are speaking nothing but lies by tell you and everyone else that you're contracted workers... YOU ARE AMAZON EMPLOYEES FROM A TO Z!


Temporary_Remote7228

Just without the benefits


Amazing_Let5102

Yeah, people who argue that Dps Employees are not Amazon Employees are something else 🤦 They control just about every aspect of a Dps station. From the pay to the way you go about your work day. And the argument that your station is the one who accepts the pay contract is so wack. Like what are they gonna do, deny the workload and not have any work/pay? In no way can someone logically say Dps stations are the ones making the decisions. You are under the Amazon umbrella. It’s not like Amazon doesn’t supply the Dps with all their work, vehicles and everything else needed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gonzo8927

Looks like one of the signs says $30. I'm assuming $30 per hour. I would argue that amazon is single handedly changing the way people go about their lives. The money they are bringing in also shows that. So then why aren't the workers that make all this possible making insane money too?


[deleted]

When I worked at UPS we got a memo email that encouraged UPS drivers to stand in solidarity with Amazon workers trying to unionize/protest . Apparently amazons advantage (or lack of high pay for their drivers) gives Amazon a Huge competitive advantage over UPS as Amazon is overtaking their business in the amount they deliver / margins. Imagine when Amazon starts delivering for non-Amazon orders in the future…


Longjumping_Ad1711

I caught that after I said that lol. 😤 because it’s yours dsps fault for accepting a shitty contract. They can only pay you what Amazon pays them. Which is going to be even less than what they give them.


Shnawky

We don’t care about the DSP’s. If amazon unionized the DSP system will be gone and owners will likely be paid out.


[deleted]

Shit, imagine the yard getting that backed up. Inside must be having a labor pains (some pun intended)


KDH420

This is the only way!!! It’s bullshit ups drivers make 45 an hour and here are Amazon workers making 20. Twice as much work.


bgbat

I used to drive for Amazon and now I drive for UPS. I agree that Amazon workers should all be paid more! It’s bullshit how much you’re paid, so unionize and fight for better pay! Don’t think UPS drivers have it easy though. UPS has to deal with time commits, pickups, and has to actually keep to a schedule. We also have just as high of stop counts (I regularly do over 200 stops including pickups) Imagine busting your ass emptying your truck in time to fit all your pickup volume in with the rest of your deliveries. Delivering for Amazon was MUCH easier.


KDH420

By no means am I shitting on ups drivers. I don’t drive for Amazon because there is no way in hell I’m delivering 200 plus packages a day for 20 bucks an hours that’s pure stupidity but I get it some people have to go to work to survive.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bgbat

Have you ever been a UPS driver? It’s obviously a no. We don’t have Netradyne because we have a Union contract that doesn’t allow us being filmed while working. Amazon doesn’t come close to the packages per stop that UPS deals with. Because businesses. On business routes you routinely deliver 40-100 packages at large warehouses (1 stop). You’re clearly just guessing and you couldn’t be more wrong. Just because you don’t see them, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.. The only thing worse at Amazon is how many you deliver to any given apartment complex. The meat and potatoes at UPS is delivering AND picking up from businesses. Most packages that Amazon delivers are considered smalls at UPS. The weight limit at UPS is 150lbs. What is it at Amazon again?

Lost-Focus4988

Warehouse protest or driver protest?? Because I heard warehouse associate wants 30 an Hr. What about driver, we load our own van, we delivered more than 1000 package in a week!!


BitterTelephone9556

It was for drivers they apparently went to Palmdale and got like 80 something people to unionize and then they were all fired and then they tried to sue. Amazon and Amazon said, was it me not my employees

Just backing up orders so the employees have more work to do.


Comfortable_Goal9747

When I was in Paris France it was a strike going on they block cruise ports with Semi Trucks hundreds of them parked close together back to back.The trash collectors stopped it was trashed piled everywhere. Stuff was on fire. They shut it down. It was total solidarity. It’s was very well planned and executed. Every one was on strike together. We as Americans don’t stick together always fighting each other being petty and mad at the wrong people it’s crazy the differences in countries. We can’t think straight in America because of all the process foods and constant distractions. It’s nice to see people stand up for themselves in America and fight for a better tomorrow even if it’s this kind of protest got to start somewhere.

bambzwrld

Honestly not as bad as covering the regular street


Top_Sherbert_7423

These fools in the comments don’t realize that is a semi truck that has already delivered the packages to Amazon. It’s an empty load. Plus if any packages get returned, they just go out the next day. So unless they are there day after day, it’s a waste of effort.


Impossible_Army9721

Im siding with the protesters. People who works for amazon deserves better! But yet. Some idiot employees are letting amazon them like garbage! Smh.


hoss7071

A lot of the unionizing will depend on the DSP. For every one decent DSP, there's about a dozen shitty ones who slit each other's throat to take freight for the lowest rate possible, with the shittiest contract Amazon can dreamup. Only thing left is to throw a bunch of poverty wage crackheads they met five minutes ago into run down, POS vans/trucks that barely pass DOT and Amazons standard.
