Amazon has had enough of Bernie Sanders. The online retailer accused the Vermont senator of spreading "misleading statements" about the pay it offers workers, while urging Sanders to visit one of the company's fulfillment centers.
"We have been in regular contact with his office and have offered several opportunities for Senator Sanders and his team to tour one of our fulfillment centers (FCs)," Amazon said in a blog post. "To date he has still not seen an FC for himself."
Sanders, who has repeatedly highlighted the disparity in income between Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the world, and his workers, plans to introduce legislation that would make large employers like Amazon foot the bill for federal aid received by their workers, including food stamps and Medicaid.
Not going to work. Just a thought.
