U.S. Supreme Court rejects Amazon warehouse worker wage appeal

That simply isn't how the Supreme (or any) court works. Perhaps there is a servitude issue at hand, but that is not the argument that the plaintiff made.

I will just ignore your racist self-righteousness in the pursuit of discussion, but you are exhibiting lazy thinking.

…which you then follow it up with lazy pseudo-nationalist supremacist thinking that declares the USA far more worthy of the human resources it strips from the originating countries, while sabotaging any real hope for those originating countries to develop, and sabotaging the native US population at the same time. Those other countries don't deserve to develop, the US rich need to import foreigners to augment their failure of statesmanship and governance; those foreign countries of "brown people" don't deserve those human resources, becky needs a babysitter or a new iPhone. Come one, come all "brown people" that increase profits through lower wages/salaries. And yes, I realize the exceptions of high salary foreigners are elevated as arguments for the fallacious rule.

It's really just a "pivot" of the slavery business model, just more efficient, profitable, and also less obviously unethical and immoral, so the fools can't quite catch onto it. What is always missed in the debate about slavery, is that slavery hurt the common people far more than even the salves in most cases for the very same reason that "immigration" is solely about driving up profits of the ruling class on the backs of the middle and lower class, by selling their own people out to foreign mercenary pillagers. Slavery was essentially were fed, housed, and taken care of because they represented the low wage labor necessary to drive the wealth of the ruling class; while the common people (mostly white) were not only left to their own devices to scrounge out a living in poverty and having to make their own way in life having to take care of themselves ( in spite of what spoiled brats today think, "white people" did not live a life of Club Med), they were also undermined by slavery the very same way that your support of immigration undermines citizens.

But I get it, you are self-righteous and self-interested because you have no principle and scaffold that with lazy thinking, but that does not change the fact that immigration is not only immoral and unethical, it is just basic theft. At the very least, "immigrants" should have to pay immensely higher taxes to compensate and reward citizens for what they and their forefathers created, but employers of immigrants should also have to pay immensely higher taxes, which of course they will have no problem paying since the immigrants will "do jobs Americans will not do".

No, and most people don't seem to understand what is going on, a fraud and plunder of the USA from those who created it by those who are pillaging it, including the "white" ruling class that are essentially using a Private equity leveraged buyout model to take over the USA and suck it dry, and the "immigrants" are the vehicle for doing so, because every additional "immigrant" is a marginal increase in their profit.

> It’s an asshole move for sure.

Yes, but corporations aren't known for going out of their way not to be assholes (more accurately--not known to go above and beyond the most basic compliance with local and federal labor and employment laws).

Tech workers benefit from the high demand for tech skills, so we typically have low "asshole" behavior from companies, less we just find another job.

Other workers typically do not. Certainly non-techworkers who work for tech companies get better treatment simply based on a uniform set of policies and procedures, but often, they are employees of a contract firm, and not subject to the same treatment as the tech employees.

I'm not sure how I feel about low-skill/low-wage workers being subject to unpaid security checks.

Being paid for time they are required to fulfill duties vs "A few rotten apples spoil the bunch."

yes, and there have been numerous articles about Walmart being terrible as well :-/
