Amazon insists striking delivery drivers don’t really work for Amazon
www.theverge.com
Amazon doesn’t want anyone to think the drivers work for it.

A lawyer almost certainly told execs that this was an illegal attempt to misclassify employees. I think we’re getting to a place where if people do things even though a lawyer tells them it’s illegal, they are personally liable (jointly with the org itself) for the decision even in the context of a limited liability organization. And if the lawyer is incompetent enough to tell them that it’s legal, they need to be disbarred and potentially liable for the damages.

    I dont get how they can say “well they are not employees” but yet one of their drivers thought he heard some racist comments from a doorbell, their complaint then locked down that persons amazon account for all services for a week? I cant yell racist shit at the UPS driver (first off, not me, also why yell at them at all?) and get all the things that anime-waifus-monthly-box.org locked down for it?? No. They are riding a fence here and also making it higher so when they fall it will just hurt more.
