  “Often with little training, and at times piloting vans in dangerous states of disrepair, Amazon drivers have crashed into cars, bicycles, houses, people, and pets.” https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...

  My ex worked for one of the companies Amazon uses to deliver packages. The working conditions were horrible and exactly as described in this article. The Cost of Next-Day Delivery: How Amazon Escapes The Blame For Its Deadly Last Mile https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... via @ceodon…

  1. Investigations like this are why I love BuzzFeed. 2. This is horrifying, and entirely expected — Amazon is behaving as a proper citizen of capitalism. 3. Hinted at but not expounded in detail — this biz structure is an extremely effective anti-union design. https://twitter.com…

  You've read about the working conditions and pressures for white collar workers at Amazon HQ. But now see how that pressure filters down to Amazon's last mile delivery network where drivers have killed or maimed people in their rush to get you packages. https://www.buzzfeednews.c…

  This article is basically an indictment of same day/next day/ two day shipping for labor and public safety reasons. That's the same kind of shipping @tatertatiana points out is worst from a climate standpoint. Which one could argue is also public safety. https://www.buzzfeednews.…

  BIG: Amazon's ruthless push for fast delivery places extreme, inhuman pressure on drivers. The inevitable result: accidents. And death. But @amazon? It has a system to escape blame. A Labor Day must-read by @ceodonovan & @kenbensinger, @BuzzFeedNews. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/…

  Amazon's delivery practices are virtually invisible to customers, who enjoy free 1 day delivery. But the deals the company makes with lightly regulated firms in its vast national network create enormous social costs that the government can't shield us from https://www.buzzfeednew…

  “Valdimar Gray was delivering packages for Amazon at the height of the pre-Christmas rush when his three-ton van barreled into an 84-year-old grandmother, crushing her diaphragm, shattering several ribs, and fracturing her skull.” https://twitter.com/...
