Sanders Introduces the BEZOS Act, Named for Amazon CEO, As Retailer Impoverishes & Mistreats Workers

https://democracynow.org - 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 low-wage 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.
