There's a pandemic and they're not giving masks and gloves to their workers, which has already caused a number of them to be hospitalized. That's why they're organizing.

Instead of giving them safety gear, they've fired the lead organizer.

They only reason they have any of the rights and conditions you described in the first place is because of organization and agitation, not their generosity.

The end result of letting authoritarian capitalism into the global marketplace can be seen in the conditions of Amazon warehouses in the United States. I'm certainly not the only person to say this, their own employees do as well. Hint - that's why they're organizing.[1]

BUT - more to the point - why post this? Are you an Amazon employee as well? If not - why? I just can't fathom in a situation like this why you'd feel the need to list - from memory? - all of the employee benefits that Amazon provides to its warehouse workers.

There aren't any masks and gloves available to anyone.

> "Are you an Amazon employee as well?"

Just a reminder that that sort of question violates the HN guidelines.

I mean, for N95, maybe. Surgical masks you can buy from China. On Amazon. They'll ship by air mail, but I'm sure Amazon could get them even quicker.
