Amazon's CEO made $212.7 million in compensation in 2021 while the typical worker received $32,855.

That's a ratio of 6,474 to 1.

Now we learn that the company spent $14 million on anti-union consultants...

Don't tell me that Amazon can't afford to let workers join a union.

$8.83 per employee per year to keep the union away, whereas an extra dollar an hour for each of 1.6 million employees would come to 3.2 billion dollars per year, coming out of a net profit of at least 21 billion per year.

Amazon prime brings in $139 per year per member, and there are about 200 million members per year, worth about 27.8 billion.

Could bad publicity on this get a three million people to drop Amazon Prime?
