With new General Secretary elected in @UniteSharon, a real strategy will now be in place to tackle those companies, such as #Amazon who ride roughshod over workers. We can no longer ignore the working practices or allow bad behaviour to go unchallenged. #BadBossesBeware

We've had calls into our hotline saying that #Amazon will not let you have time off for family emergencies or care for family members and now they want people to go in and risk these dangerous floods. It's time for Amazon workers to have a voice, it's time for @ActionOn_Amazon

Amazon shifts £8.2bn of UK revenues to low-tax Luxembourg. UK govts do little to check corporate profit shifting. The global minimum tax agreement will have little impact on Amazons. Need unitary tax to end the fiction that subsidiaries are autonomous. independent.co.uk/news/busin…
