Bernie Sanders keeps blasting Amazon for low
wages and poor working conditions.
Amazon just dropped an atomic bomb on his head:
"Senator Sanders continues to make inaccurate and misleading accusations against Amazon.
"We have been in regular contact with his office and have offered several opportunities for Senator Sanders and his team to
tour one of our fulfillment centers (FCs). To date he has still not seen an FC for himself.
"Instead, Senator Sanders continues to spread misleading statements about pay and benefits. Amazon is proud to have created over 130,000 new jobs last year alone. In the U.S., the average hourly wage for a full-time associate in our fulfillment centers, including cash, stock, and incentive bonuses, is over $15/hour before overtime. We encourage anyone to compare our pay and benefits to other
retailers.
"Senator Sanders' references to SNAP, which hasn't been called 'food stamps' for several years, are also misleading because they include people who only worked for Amazon for a short period of time and/or chose to work part-time — both of these groups would almost certainly qualify for SNAP.
"In addition to highly competitive wages and a climate controlled, safe workplace, Amazon provides employees with a comprehensive benefit package including health insurance,
disability insurance, retirement savings plans, and company stock. The company also offers up to 20 weeks of paid leave and innovative benefits such as LeaveShare and RampBack, which give new parents flexibility with their growing families....
"While Senator Sanders plays politics and makes misleading accusations, we are expending real money and effort upskilling people with our Career Choice program. Career Choice is an innovative benefit that pre-pays 95 percent of tuition, fees and
textbooks (up to $12,000) for courses related to in-demand fields, regardless of whether they're related to skills for jobs at Amazon or not. We have over 16,000 employees who have participated in Career Choice.
"No one knows what it's like to work in one of our fulfillment centers better than the skilled and dedicated people who do it every day. That's why we are encouraging all employees to take Senator Sanders up on his request and respond with their actual
experience."
I'd like to see a lot more of this, from a lot more companies.
Now, down to business:
Tonight Sara and Andrew are pulling down the second webinar replay and closing the doors to their
program.
You'll find a bunch of my listeners inside -- some who have been with Sara and Andrew for years, and for good reason: they are brilliant, and outstanding mentors and guides.
They're offering a double-your-money-back guarantee. So just in case you're like me in 4th-grade science, when I
was the kid whose plant didn't grow, the worst that can happen is you're paid to try this out.
They guide you through building a site online that provides value to people (and isn't just about lining your pocket) and at the same time generates revenue for you.
Out of 100 approaches you might take,
there are 99 that won't work. In that sense, Andrew and Sara are initiating you into the 1%.
Don't let this baby slip away:
