Amazon started as a e-commerce site. But their Web Services division now makes up the vast majority of their revenue. They also dabble in streaming and content generation.
I’d say they are primarily a web hosting company that dabbles in e-commerce now.
AWS hosts 25% of the internet. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s not tech related, the company is in tech and unions within tech is a rapidly growing movement. Next you’re going to say that workers protesting at Microsoft isn’t tech related.
If Walmart started building and selling nuclear reactors tomorrow, US-specific news on labour conditions in their stores still wouldn’t be technology related. I get that you don’t like them and will use every opportunity to dunk on them (there’s plenty of reason to) but why litter this community with irrelevant news for everyone else?
Got it. You believe that the only thing relevant to technology is the things being made, but the people that make those things aren’t relevant. Let’s see how much tech news will come from those companies when the workers stop working.
You mean the people the maintain the biggest logistics network in the world? Not sure, but it sure as fuck is relevant to news about the company that hosts 25% of the internet.
What a dumb hill to die on. Are you anti-labor or something? This will affect all of amazon, and AWS is one of the largest tech companies out there. If you don’t want this post on your feed, I invite you to hide it or block OP. The votes clearly show the community doesn’t agree with you and that they don’t mind this on their feed.
This is about labour law in the US, not technology.
Is the behavior of one of the biggest tech companies in the world not relevant to technology? That seems a strange view to me.
Correct, business and labor law news is not technology news, regardless of which company it is.
This part of Amazon is not a tech company. It’s a logistics and e-commerce company and this news has zero relevance outside of US.

They are a tech company by any definition.
Remind me, what does the “e” in “e-commerce” stand for again?
AmazonShop with a website is not a tech company.UberTaxi company with an app is not a tech company.RevolutBank with an app and no offices is not a tech company.These companies present themselves as tech related because it increases stock value.
Most of Amazon’s revenue comes from AWS (a tech company), therefore Amazon is appropriately called a tech company.
You do know about AWS, right?? This applies to them too.
Please see my other reply.

Labor is inseparable from it’s fruits.
What technology does Amazon warehouse worker make?

Yeah, personal attacks! Yes, I’m undercover Amazon shill and have been fooling you all along. Downvotes means who’s right!
Get a grip.
I mean, if you took what I said as a personal attack I don’t know what else to say. Are you sure it’s me that needs to get a grip?
Mega tech corps are the only thing that get posted here…
I guess warehouse slaves aint elite enough for younto suffer this thread?
It’s probably better suited for business, US politics or work reform related community.
Report it. I did.
It’s one of the biggest tech corps making the argument. I feel ok about where I posted it.
