0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>There is trouble brewing at the Amazon Prime Washington Post.

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>It's big trouble. More than four hundred employees of the

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>drive By media giant have written to the boss, Jeff Bezos,

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>demanding that a fork over higher pay and better benefits.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.159
<v Speaker 1>A labor dispute has been raging inside the newspaper for

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>a year. It pits management against the union. It represents

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>over eight hundred editorial and bidness employees. Now the dispute

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>has gone public. According to the open letter, Bezos offered

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon Prime Post workers a pitiful ten dollar a

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>week raise. They were insulted, especially since Bezos is one

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>of the richest men in the world. They claim that

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>digital subscriptions are way up, online traffic is way up,

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and that advertising is meeting goals. So the employees want fairness,

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>more money, more family leave, better health benefits, more retirement income,

0:00:56.320 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>more job security. Want more of everything, Mr Bezos. Maybe

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.959
<v Speaker 1>there's a way out of this mess. How about offering

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>your disgruntled staff at the Amazon Prime Washington Post a

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>bigger discount at Amazon Prime Whole Foods, maybe with a

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>minimum purchase. Of course, after all, it's only money, but

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you never know what can satisfy angry liberals that won't

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>cost you very much. H
