CNBCAmazon responded Monday to a comment by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., that it pays warehouse workers “starvation wages,” saying in a tweet that it pays workers at least $15 per hour plus full benefits.

Ocasio-Cortez said she was concerned that Bezos’ “being a billionaire is predicated on paying people starvation wages and stripping them of their ability to access health care, and also if his ability to be a billionaire is predicated on the fact that his workers are taking food stamps.”

She will end back bartending lowest iq in history

Amazon has to be an intricate part of “Green New Deal”

Ever shopped at Amazon? Prime member?

Funny Amazon claps back and forgetd that if thr minimum wage is adjusted for inflation and keeping with productivity it would be around $20/hr. Lets keep in mind Amazon pays no taxes and its CEO makes over 100 billion. Also, Bezos will “make” the annual salary of one of

I work for Ana on and I am so tired of this woman's crap. We make good money, INCREDIBLE benefits...offered 20 hours a month time off no question...offered overtime....major room for advancement...pays college....I pay $40 a month for dental, medical and optical. No copay

The Queen of lies and deception! Name this American Villain! poison Ivy? What say ye America?

Aren’t most of the warehouse employees sub-contracted through other companies? When I was a phone support for Amazon I was employed by a different company entirely and only made nine dollars an hour.

She never get tired of making a fool of herself

Yet AOC is a co sponsor of The Raise the Wage Act...to $15 per hour

$15 an hour? That's nothing in this day and age. In order for a family to survive they need to make at least $25 an hour as a base. The cost of living in America is ridiculously high.

Nobody can pay a mortgage , put food on the table , pay for a child’s education , own a vehicle and maintain it on $15 an hour............

Okay, let's count how many jobs AOC has created since she became a Congres woman. ONE! Her old job as a bartender.😄😄😄😄

AOC throws ignorant rhetoric about Amazon, yet she turned her back on her district when they had a chance to have better jobs, betterment of their community, more revenue! She so stupid she walks all over herself!

Clueless

What an idiot, she obviously has no staff to fact check. She’s as bad if not worse than our President. I love and support Amazon 100%.

mannyd1_ Amazon can shut up and Walmart will find the boycott lol.

Good for Amazon!

It’s best for Democrats that she stop talking all together. She’s to lazy or her staff is too incompetent to look things up.

That’s their come back? Ask an employee about the “full benefits”. And where exactly is $15 per hour a livable wage?

Lol their low cost medical insurance doesn’t even have primary care copays. You have to pay the deductible then coinsurance 🙄

I'm retired now and work a part time job,recieving $15 per hour.. It would be very difficult to survive on that

$600 bucks pre tax for a 40 hour week. $30 grand or so a year. That is not a living wage. Bezos is a modern day Lord, overseeing his fiefdom. Give 'em hell AOC.

That’s what Amazon said. What did you expect them to say? Do you have proof or are you just going with the “he said, she said” surface news without asking current and former employees and research if Amazon is telling the truth?

Whoops

One day this noodle brain will run for President. Let that sink in...

I think AOC is a smart communicator who understands the power of new media (social media). However at times she appears over-zealous. Her lustre may end prematurely.

She's click bait trash. Zero substance

Well all of you that praise this thing . hope you are happy

'AOC is just wrong': Amazon publicly condemns Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she slams Jeff Bezos's wealthAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been an outspoken Amazon critic. She was blamed in part for Amazon's decision to cancel its HQ2 in New York City. 🦇💩🤪 He said he didn’t know what to do with his wealth, so he’ll concert it into spaceship parts. Like a game. Meanwhile, his employees are paid garbage, they don’t get to take breaks, some live in tents. I can think of better uses of his wealth. This isn’t capitalism. It’s feudalism
