> “We support every employee’s right to criticize their employer’s working conditions,” a spokesperson said, “but that does not come with blanket immunity against any and all internal policies.”

What a strange statement. "We support their right to criticize their working conditions, only actually we don't at all"

It doesn't seem politically smart to me for Amazon to so blatantly open itself up to state and federal investigation, at a time when the president of the United States hates their leadership's guts and the Democratic Party is on a massive pro-workers kick.

Amazon has spent billions trying to replace the human component of its distribution. It would utterly fall apart if warehouse workers stop working. What's wrong with letting them share in the wealth, giving them masks and gloves, and reducing the throughput a little bit so that people don't have to work in close proximity to each other?

This doublespeak bullshit from Amazon is a pretty glaring symptom of a larger problem, perhaps (if I may editorialize) Bezos's resentment that he has to employ warehouse workers at all.

When all of this is said and done, I think Amazon is going to make ungodly sums of money and everyone will hate Jeff Bezos for how he treats the little guys.
