Somalis Stage Walkout at Amazon Fulfillment Center in Minnesota
March 23, 2019 ~ Ann Corcoran   

The brief walkout occurred earlier this month in Shakopee, Minnesota, but the news appeared in my alerts today in a story at Workers World.

Workers World is the newspaper of the Communist Party in the US—the Workers World Party—and it’s good to read their spin on things from time to time.

I had a chuckle over the sign the workers held for a facebook picture.

Corporate decision makers dilemma! Shall we put up with workers who walk out and put their fists in the air, or get more robots?

Maybe not the best choice for the sign.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Somebody has to be able to walk into a bank to cash the checks that won't scare the tellers.
