The real problem is that this isn&amp;#x27;t the first time Amazon has been in the spotlight for worker conditions (there&amp;#x27;s even a pretty shocking documentary on the subject) and nothing sensible has ever come from it. Amazon continues to exploit humans who have few other choices, and will continue to get away with it.&lt;p&gt;This whole situation is a really good example of why worker&amp;#x27;s unions must exist.</text></comment>

It seems every month there&amp;#x27;s a story about these warehouses. It quickly becomes the stereotypical worst place to work.</text></comment>
