YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Today Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Ro Khanna introduced the BEZOS Act that would tax large corporations like Amazon and Walmart for every dollar their lowwage workers receive in government assistance.

In part two of our interview with U.K.-based journalist James Bloodworth, he describes how he went undercover an Amazon warehouse “picker” and found impoverishment and mistreatment. His new book is Hired: Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain.
