A fired Amazon employee led a protest in front of Jeff Bezos' $165 million Beverly Hills mansion over wage concerns and job protections

"When a multibillion-dollar company is subjecting its employees to substandard working and safety conditions during a global pandemic and, as a result, transmitting COVID-19 to 20,000 employees — it goes beyond negligence," Andrew Lewis, who protested on Sunday and is also on the North Westwood Neighborhood Council,"Amazon is far and beyond the wealthiest corporation on the planet. They have the resources to keep their employees safe and healthy, and actively choose not to.

"Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our employees, and we are doing everything we can to keep them as safe as possible," Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti told Business Insider in a statement. "The fact is that Amazon already offers what unions are requesting for employees: industry-leading pay, a variety of benefits packages, and opportunities for career growth, all while working in a safe, modern work environment.

This weekend's march wasn't the first time in which Amazon employees organized in an effort to take a protest to Bezos' door. , a group of protesters, also organized by the Congress Of Essential Workers and led by Smalls, demonstrated in front of Bezos' apartment in Manhattan.

Can’t see the protestors, are they lost in the hedge?

Jesus just the hedge looks like a million

Some nice hedges...

One protestor Twelve members of the media 😂😂

And this accomplished nothing either.

It seems that many Elites who oppose a wall on the U.S. border have nice protective walls around their properties. The irony here is selfish and short-sighted. If a wall is good for their properties then a U.S. border wall is good for others’ properties, esp. those near the U.S.

That’s got to be the tallest wall I’ve ever seen for a private residence.

Meanwhile, each of the protesters ordered something from Amazon this week...

The wall around Jeff Bezos’ house is enormous.

Maybe Bob Chapek needs a similar protest in front of his house.

PresCovid19 aka Demagogue Donald said, 'Feeling really good! Don't be afraid of Covid.' Yea! Tellin' Lies Trump, let's have another Rose Garden event at the White House without social distance or masks. Invite the Melania, McEnany, and the entire GOP-Republican politicians. Do it

Those hedges though. 😳
