Garment workers in Bangladesh take part in a protest demanding Amazon pay its fair share to society
ACTIVISTS and progressive politicians around the world added their voices to a new international campaign today demanding the world’s richest man and his tax-dodging company pay its debts to workers, the planet and society at large.
Comprised of a coalition of global trade unions, climate, justice and human rights organisations and more from across the globe, the Make Amazon Pay movement issued a list of demands on Black Friday, normally the busiest shopping day of the year.
