If you are a retailer with a significant online sales
The period of time from Black Friday to Cyber Monday is your
Holy Grail
So important to insure your company enters and stays in the
black
That companies are touting Black Friday Sales in advance to customers' credit cards attack
A labor dispute between Black Friday however defined and Cyber
Monday is feared like a hole in the head
A strike or other labor disruption between those days is met
with total dread
Workers at Amazon in the U.S. and in major cities in 20
countries abroad are planning a strike
Demanding an end to labor abuses, right to unionize and wage
and benefit hikes
This will be the 5th year workers have gone on strike to “make
Amazon pay”
So the activity this year is not linked to making workers end
telecommuting and work onsite during work days
Amazon in its defense has noted it has created over 1.5
million good paying jobs
But in the U.S. inflation has the increases in pay and
benefits robbed
Could be a serious problem for Amazon at its distribution
centers with AI creating thousands of potential Luddites
Bezos should be spending less time on Koru, Blue Origin
and The Washington Post and more on dealing with Amazon’s growing labor fight
