FAST FIVE: Jeff Bezos Booed By Amazon Workers

Last week, Amazon finally disclosed its workers' median annual salary, which at a paltry $28,446 put Amazon on par with Hershey, slightly above retailer Home Depot, and almost ten times below the $240,430 median annual comp at Facebook, according to recent proxy filings.

In a dramatic description of Amazon working conditions, Verdi boss Frank Bsirske said that “we have a boss who wants to impose American working conditions on the world and take us back to the 19th century.” Ver.di has for years been a constant thorn in Amazon's side in Germany, organizing workers strikes to demand improved pay and working conditions according to Bloomberg.

One of the protesters at the event was Thomas Rigol, 37, who joined Amazon as a logistics worker in Leipzig in 2008.

And confirming that Germany will do everything in its power to maximize Amazon's tax receipts – if only in Germany – Nahles labeled Amazon, along with other big tech companies “world champions in tax avoidance” and told reporters that “this does not deserve a prize.” Later, during a fireside chat with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner on Tuesday evening, Bezos defended Amazon saying he was “very proud of our working conditions, and I'm very proud of the wages we pay,” including in Germany.

“It's fine.” In other words, the world's richest man is not all worried about the actions of the world's most powerful man.
