Amazon’s Prime Sweatshop Is Nothing to Celebrate While chairman Jeff Bezos enjoys his honeymoon, Amazon workers are in line for record injuries and hospitalizations over the four-day summer sale.

Huge sales for customers. Record profits for corporate execs. For workers? Sweat, grueling hours, exhaustion and injuries.

Welcome to #AmazonPrime Days.

While Amazon workers labor away in the company’s global sweatshops, Jeff Bezos is enjoying a swanky Venice wedding. Nice gift here:

The CAUSE workers led a righteous fight against Amazon but fell short — this time. But in waging this battle, they taught us all important lessons.
