Creeping sharia:
If immigration is not stopped, the future of America is dim. Source: Somali Workers in Minnesota Force Amazon to Negotiate
Soon after Hibaq Mohamed immigrated to Minneapolis from Kenya, where she had been living as a refugee, in 2016 she got a job at a new Amazon warehouse near the city. At first, she enjoyed packing boxes for delivery to consumers.
But over time, she said, Amazon required her and her co-workers to pack at a faster rate, at least 230 items an hour, up from 160. Ms. Mohamed, who is Muslim, said that Amazon let her take paid breaks to pray, as required by state law, but that her managers had told her that she still needed to keep pace.
“There is just pressure,” Ms. Mohamed, 24, said. “The people they don’t fire worry one day they will be fired.”
Ms. Mohamed and scores of East African colleagues, many of them, like her, born in Somalia, responded in an unusual way for Amazon workers: They organized to complain.
Now, tied together by a close cultural connection and empowered by a tight labor market, they appear to be the first known group in the United States to get Amazon management to negotiate.
After modest protests over the summer, the workers have had two private meetings with management in recent months. Labor organizers and researchers said they were not aware of Amazon coming to the table previously in the United States amid pressure from workers, even for private discussions.
Last week, Amazon offered some compromises at its facilities in the Minneapolis area. The company said it would require a general manager and a Somali-speaking manager to agree on any firings related to productivity rates, designate a manager to respond to individual complaints within five days and meet with workers quarterly.
[Do non-Muslim and/or American workers get the same benefits and options?]
By Saturday night, though, a group of about 40 workers had decided the compromises were insufficient, with a primary concern being the pace at which they are expected to work. They voted to stage a large protest and walkout on Dec. 14, in the thick of the holiday season. more
Muslims will not assimilate. Why would any business hire these known troublemakers? Why in the hell are we allowing them in the country?

Dah, reactive targets.
Brad, trouble is that is how they view us too. They are getting bolder, and there is more of them all the time.
Actually, I can relate to the woman’s statement about minimum picks during the day. I have seen the results of “management by accountant” and it has always led to very poor relations between rank and file with management. having the two talk to each other is a good thing. imagine how bad it could be if the workers at amazon unionized…
amazon will win, all they have to do is never allow this group to unionize. start looking for cheap, productive, replacement employees, that don’t take breaks, complain, or threaten to strike.
hmmm, now who or what could that be?
If only SNL unleashed Mike Myers as Dr.Evil (Jeff Bozos) as they did with Alec Baldwin as Trump they would have hit the roof in rating. Course as long as Sores funded Globalist trash like the Clinton’s are still are promoted by the MSM, we are only left with heroin eyes Pete Davidson and the most worthless cast member ever, the diversity employed Kenan Thompson.
When you have no respect for a others life, this is what we in this invasion we are faced with. Electing Muslim Trash to represent non-citizens as citizens like the 8 years from 2008 to 2016, yep, time over.
Pay them less for their rug time. Let them sue.
“Nobody would assume a Muslim worker, with limited language skills, in the middle of Minnesota can be a leader in a viable fight against one of the biggest employers in the world and bring them to the table,” said Abdirahman Muse, Awood’s executive director.
No special language skills required. All one need understand is Allahu Akbar or threat of an islamaphobia lawsuit.
To libs/progs: you broke it, you bought it. The SEIU’s and their associates mob mentality will seem tame compared to the Muslims “collective bargaining”.
@Brad These reactive targets with their standard Somali bulbulous heads are a much easier shot than my usual paper targets.
Area I live-in has a booming warehouse/direct-to-market shipping area growing. We are beginning to see more and more Muslime walking to work and vans full of workers stopping at convenience stores during meal hours – local Chipolte no longer serves pork/bacon.
The hispanics have moved on to construction. What do you expect?
Hans! True regards to you about your location! When local Chipolte no longer serves pork/bacon since their migrant E coli pickers/servers cannot deliver their signature dish of food poisoning it’s a sign,,
Amazon loves expanding and existing in liberal bastions where liberal leaders bend over backwards to give Bezos huge tax breaks. Problem will be when their liberal work forces continue to realize they can put the screws to them the same way they do.
Cap’n Fast, that might be believable if there were any but muzzies in that wolf pack meeting with Mgmt.
Redistribution of wealth – plain and simple.
Amazon ain’t paying shit. The people who BUY from Amazon are paying.
(that’s the middle-income, working people, tax-payers, by the way)
Too cowardly to fight for their homes, too stupid to innovate or entrepreneur, and too lazy to work – go to Amazon and demand the Moon.
A pox on both your houses!
izlamo delenda est …
The end is near for Amazon! Done in by African Muzzies that want this country to mirror third world shit holes like Somalia! Who woulda thunk it!
Should’ve done their homework before hiring them. Just ask Tyson Foods or Abercrombie & Fitch.
Fucking rug-huggers… anybody that would dig a poor little girls clitoris out in a sanctioned ritual should have their eyes shot out.
If they let you pray 5 times a day, will I get my order 5 times faster?
Amazon will figger out a way to make robots that can replace them.
If a robot is down five times a day for maintenance, at least that’s time it’s not being paid and it won’t make up reasons to sue. Or slip n’ fall. Or unionize.
It IS costing you money being down so you just get a better robot that isn’t down as much, like a Fanuc.
Matter of time. There’s nothing that they won’t be able to program warehouse bots to do, soon. Crap like this gives them every reason to do it.
I find that comparative shopping is easier on amazon, and then, once the specific item is found, purchasing on ebay is more often than not less expensive. And it is often the same vendors.
I try not to give amazon my money. And I pee in foot wash stations.
