The Spanish National Police charged at several Amazon workers Tuesday in the logistics center of San Fernando de Henares, in the outskirts of Madrid, who are participating in the three-day strike against the company’s efforts to reduce workers’ rights.
On Tuesday, workers on strike shared videos through social media showing how members of the national police attacked them. According to local media reports three workers have been detained and one was injured.
Workers on strike have also called on consumers to boycott Amazon in solidarity with their struggle. Organizers gathered outside the San Fernando de Henares center, where they chanted “There is, there is, there is no other way. With the bosses, or with the working class.”
During the first day of the strike the Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) Amazon said 80 percent of the workforce participated in the strike, affirming those who were working were temporary workers who have been threatened by local management.
The strike was organized for Amazon’s Prime Day, when the company offers discounts and there are high sales levels. Workers are specifically protesting wage cuts, working conditions and restrictions on time off.
Spanish state takes the side of capital and Amazon over the workers.
There’s a certain novelty to hearing your grandparents talking shit about other old people. That’s not just your everyday gossip, that’s some vintage grade A shit matured for decades in an oak barrel.
instead of talking shit my nanny just knows everything, she knows who’s been to hospital and whose dog just died and every single person that walks by her house because she likes to sit in her kitchen and people-watch out the window. oh and if the plumber comes over you betcha she’ll know the names of his cousin’s nephew’s children by the time he leaves.
This is not an exaggeration. Your download speed would slow down to the point where Windows would make this kind of absurd estimate, and you’d sigh and leave the room for a while (because you couldn’t use the computer while it was doing this for fear it would crash and lose all your progress) and then you’d come back in 40 minutes and maybe it would now say 52 years or maybe it would say 3 minutes, who knew, not Windows.
Good old times xD
Ah yes, the classic days of downloads being 20% done one minute, 50% done another, then 12% done, and -12% done. Dark times indeed.
