    Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

      Also just not buy things from Amazon until the strike is over. Real stores exist!

      (I say this as a recluse who buys almost everything online)

        Same, but I’ve got away without buying from Amazon for 5+ years now, so I’m pretty sure anyone can do it.

        A couple of times a package I ordered from some random website would come in an amazon box, just because they incidentally use the service, but that was it.

          They got me with the free prime delivery. I’ll get, like, a single bottle of Tylenol delivered. My husband likes the card benefits, so they got him there. Plus, sometimes we watch shows and movies if Netflix or Youtube doesn’t have them (we only pirate if what we want can’t be found elsewhere, since we are fortnate enough to be able to pay for the media we consume)

          I hate to say it, but… it’s a great service

          But even I can walk away, and stand in solidarity with workers. They deserve better, and Amazon can afford to give it to them

          We recycle cartons at work to send stuff to our customers.
          Saves a bit of money and is better for the environment.

        I will openly admit I should be much better about not ordering so much stuff online.

      Nothing will come out of that strike. It’s just 1 day and then back to being a wage slave. If anything, it will prove to Amazon that they, Amazon, are pulling the levers. In order for a strike to be effective, it has to last until changes are agreed upon which is impossible without a strong union.
