AMAZON will block and flag employee posts on a planned internal messaging app that contain keywords pertaining to labor unions, according to internal company documents reviewed by The Intercept. An automatic word monitor would also block a variety of terms that could represent potential critiques of Amazon’s working conditions, like “slave labor,” “prison,” and “plantation,” as well as “restrooms” — presumably related to reports of Amazon employees relieving themselves in bottles to meet punishing quotas.

Too bad people can't just quit and work elsewhere

Depending on where you live it's kind of rough. I restarted my career into assembly semiconductor and best they could do was 19. But that bill passed and everywhere is hiring for 5 more except ours so people are moving on.
