Needless to say, Prime Day is a big AF deal.
Some people aren’t so thrilled about it this year though…
From Forbes:
“On Monday, a growing number of online workers, gamers, and shoppers plan to boycott Amazon over its treatment of low-level workers, who have criticized the company’s tough working conditions on multiple occasions. To get the company’s attention on these issues, organizers hope their boycott will make a dent in Amazon’s bottom line on July 16, 2018, a.k.a. Prime Day, one of the retail-and-technology giant’s busiest sales days of the year.
In a lead-up to the boycott, which has increasingly gained support on social media, Amazon workers in Spain launched a general strike last week Tuesday that is expected to last through Monday. Workers at other European Amazon facilities have reportedly joined the walk-out, including groups in Italy, France, England, Germany, and Poland.”
