Re: Who are the downvoters, in this comment thread

I did not put in any downvotes anywhere, but the article made Tim sound like a political agitator who just wants to stir up trouble.

Most of us hate Amazon for treating their workers like crap, but in this instance I felt Amazon did the right thing. Political activism has no place in the workplace. Bullying your co-workers into "action" is not nice.

"Our workers need to be paid a decent salary" - fine.

"Your company should save the koala bear and put an end to nude beaches everywhere" - not fine.
