Do you want to feel really good this Christmas? Boycott Amazon

The firm's overworked warehouse staff have had to pee in old water bottles while their CEO is paid in a second what they earn in five weeks

Jeff Bezos, says the TUC, earns as much in a second as one of his warehouse workers would earn in five weeks. It makes his performative philanthropy - such as his Bezos Day One charity, which helps families in low-income areas - slightly nauseating. If he hadn't set Amazon up to maximise his power and overvalue his contribution, he wouldn't have helped to create the disempowerment and exploitation he claims to want to overcome.

Serf-like conditions for Amazon warehouse staff, the atmosphere of hyper-surveillance in which every motion is monitored to check that it's fast enough, are piled on top of the low wages to ram home to each employee how dispensable they are. But then, think of the free delivery.
