I hope I get one of them by Friday! I desperately need it!!!!

they deserve all they are asking for and then some.

unionization.

Don't now why unions are not trying to organize thes workers???

All three of those companies should be unionized. I was a Teamster for 35 years, and strongly believe in unions.

has been pretty scarce during this mess. The shop steward did file a grievance yesterday about some flying under the radar some administrators were attempting. It might get them to stop it until the grievance can be decided (never, if my grievance-filing experience is any indication), in which case the point will be moot because the pandemic will be past.

Maybe this fiasco will get it through some people's heads that unions are a good thing, but if there's no union around to capitalize, the opportunity will be lost.

They deserve protective gear, sick leave, and good pay. I am very grateful for their work.

May 1.

it will be expensive and consumers will pay because costs are always passed along. With the Fed printing money and throwing it at markets and the economy, the virus raising the costs of doing business, output down due to layoffs, we will see one helluva jump in inflation.

money printing, increased costs, lowered productivity, lowered output = INFLATION

It's hard, and I also just put in an Amazon order before I heard this, but the workers have my full support.

since they wouldn't protect their workers. I don't use Fed Ex or Walmart or I would be boycotting them too.

I have been buying stuff on eBay from sellers in the US. What I have noticed is the prices on Amazon are sometimes higher priced than eBay.

I always compare prices (on a strict/limited budget) and most of the stuff is cheaper via ebay or other places.... making boycotting a win-win situation.

Greedy, nasty SOBs. All three!

It's not a logistical or financial burden anymore:

THe company i work for is paying extra to the essential workers to keep the warehouse running, and
providing masks and compartmentalized areas with separate break rooms and bathrooms. and separate extra cleaning teams.

.....nationwide to raise minimum wage, provide sick pay, health care foe all. Corporations treat workers like serfs.

One of the reasons Europe has a stronger safety net is because of nationwide strikes. It's under threat now but still, their governments fear them in a way ours does not fear us.

We can take the means of production and distribution away from greedy owners who mistreat and exploit worker desperation. We have enough we just have to take our power back.

If the workers are out striking at the Walmart I live near I will buy them coffee or lunches something to help. If they want me to carry a sign in support .. I'll do whatever they want me to do . Because I am so proud and happy for them standing up to the greedy and inhuman..

Meat packers, grocery workers, airline employees, etc should join them. If you still have a job, call in sick Friday.

These workers are literally risking their lives and getting no government support and idiots protesting to open up everything putting them at further risk.

Meanwhile Wall Street is booming and the bailout cash is flowing freely to the wealthy along with testing and PPE.

My daughter will shop for me, but I feel better if she isn't making special trips for me. I have ordered online and local delivery from Kroger's, just to save her a visit, but I don't want any other people to risk their health for me, so I am not really shopping much. If I knew that employees were actually getting supplied with masks, gloves and hand sanitzers and their employers were treating them like human beings instead of bricks in the wall, I'd probably order more or more often.

I got my relief money today, and have no urge to spend it.


I hope this latest protest makes a difference. There are almost 1/4 million dead worldwide from the virus. And we'll hit 60,000 dead in the US probably by 4/30. Inexcusable.

Thankfully they are in a good state where masks are mandatory and there are limits of the number of customers allowed in.
