The WP, owned by America's Favorite Billionaire Warehouse Sweatshop King speaks for Hillary -


what a surprise.

Who owns the Wash. Post? None other than America's favorite Warehouse Sweatshop King Jeff Bezos - Amazon CEO.

Nothing like providing UNSAFE working conditions for PREGNANT workers. Have you told him to cut it out Hillary?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post

In 2013, longtime owners the Graham family sold the newspaper to Jeff Bezos for US$250 million in cash. The newspaper is owned by Nash Holdings LLC, a holding company Bezos created for the acquisition.

An emergency room doctor in June called federal regulators to report an "unsafe environment" after he treated several Amazon warehouse workers for heat-related problems. The doctor's report was echoed by warehouse workers who also complained to regulators, including a security guard who reported seeing pregnant employees suffering in the heat.

In a better economy, not as many people would line up for jobs that pay $11 or $12 an hour moving inventory through a hot warehouse. But with job openings scarce, Amazon and Integrity Staffing Solutions, the temporary employment firm that is hiring workers for Amazon, have found eager applicants in the swollen ranks of the unemployed.

Instead of telling us you hope we have good health insurance, a higher minimum wage and we can stop global warming, you preach to us about what we do with our own money. That preaching is trash.
