Re pwalker8's last post, I'd like (depending on the issue) to see Amazon start losing court cases, but they still seem to be on a legal roll. To people who try to judge companies by how they treat their workers, this is disheartening:
Workers at Amazon Warehouses Will Probably Lose Supreme Court Pay Case
Quote:
The Obama administration is siding with the company. Justice Department attorney Curtis Gannon argued that the security screenings were not "integral and indispensable to the workers' jobs. He cited a 1947 Labor Department opinion letter that makes no distinction between searches for general security and those to prevent theft, finding neither requires pay.
Justice Stephen Breyer said if he was in the workers' situation, he'd look to the Labor Department.
"They are the ones who are in charge of this," Breyer said. "And they are saying you lose."
