are meanwhile hosting promotions at the same time. Online sales may prove critical for retailers as the pandemic forestalls the typical crowds at stores after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.
At the pandemic’s outset, Amazon was focused on shipping essential items to shoppers. Now its aim is to help customers with their holiday lists on Prime Day, said Jamil Ghani, a company vice president.Amazon is bringing the event to Turkey and Brazil for the first time. In Latin America, Amazon has faced an uphill battle with local rivals.
A report by news site Reveal said the week around last year’s Prime Day was the most dangerous for injuries at Amazon’s fulfillment centers, prompting criticism by a prominent union.“Amazon’s Prime Day means more injuries and unacceptable levels of stress for its workforce,” Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, said in a statement.
“During normal times it’s a grueling period for workers. During a global pandemic it may well push workers beyond their limit,” he said. Amazon disputed the claims, saying employees’ performance expectations and injury rates are not higher during the holiday season.Reporting by Jeffrey Dastin in San Francisco; Editing by Stephen Coates
Materialism the catalyst of the world economy and the deadly environment consequences. Few understand, and still fewer have any viable solutions as humanity marches along on its suicidal path. Nature is giving us deadly warning signs, politicians hopelessly useless in awareness.
“Prime Day” always seems like that garage sale from the rich house on the street. You think you’re gonna get a steal and it’s just a bunch of crap. And then you realize rich people impulse buy a bunch of crap too.
I looked nothing to write home about.
