Amazon in Waterloo Region

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.

Fair enough, I suppose they already use gig workers for delivery here. Their warehouse jobs have problems too, but at a minimum different ones from gig work, and potentially similar to other similar jobs.
