Hi John,
Earlier this year, our Resisting Monopoly Capitalism conference explored extreme corporate power on a planet in crisis – how a small pool of corporate giants is dominating the economy across our basic needs: medicines, food, energy and technology.
We discussed Amazon as one of the main villains in the story of monopoly capitalism: the Big Tech behemoth whose dominance is built on exploiting workers, reckless waste and emissions, and aggressive tricks to squeeze out competition – churning through its workers, the planet and small businesses in equal measure.
With Black Friday – corporate giants’ feast day – coming up soon, a broad movement is mobilising in response to Amazon’s many crimes. We’ve joined the Make Amazon Pay coalition: organisations and unions working across labour, climate, data, racial and economic justice to make Amazon pay fair wages, its taxes and for its impact on the planet.
