Amazon in Waterloo Region

[tomh009]

If you are thinking of retail jobs being replaced, they generally don't pay any better than Amazon. And someone will always make money on every transaction, or else the business will be going under.

While this is generally true, there are specific details which are worse...gig workers for example, I feel are even worse off than minimum wage workers at say Walmart, where they are actually forced to compete continuously for work, while also using their own resources.

It's just another step forward in the already problematic marathon we've been having away from workers rights and good jobs.

I was thinking distribution centre workers, who will (almost certainly) be employees. Gig-based delivery "jobs" are far more problematic.
