STEP 4 AMAZON THE PROS AND CONS  cf doc Friday the 30 th

the workers want ….	the CEO of amazon
Better wages Defend  someone’s rights There is Strength in numbers( plus on est nombreux plus on est fort) Negotiate ·         A sweatshop = a workshop where people are exploited ·         Dangerous = risky = harmful ·         Hazardous material = dangerous equipment ·         Abuse (maltraiter) ·         Fair wages ( des salaires justes) ·         Improve (améliorer) ·         (to) Work long hours ·         Difficult = dire  working conditions ·         Forced to work overtime The pressure of Unrealistic demands The productivity rate ( the rate = le taux) They struggle ( to struggle to do sth = lutter pour faire qqc)to keep up with the rate (to) expect someone to do sth ( s’attendre à ce que qq fasse qqc)	Create jobs Wages = salaries Prices will rise = will increase Be competitive THE COMPANY Has to pay for the promotion of their products The marketing Provide ( fournir)jobs Innovation costs money Career opportunities High salaries A great customer service Provide a reliable ( fiable) customer service Be the largest online marketplace nowadays
Other customers blame Amazon for
Killing the competition Be difficult to return a product Increase prices Destroying local markets and producers boosting overconsumption creating waste and pollution creating an addiction

 

To begin with a pitfall is that it creates unemployment = redundancy

However their shiping / delivery service is fast and efficient unlike other suppliers / providers

Amazon employess will be replaced by Ai even if the turnover / benefits of the company are high

The advantage is the speed of the delivery services unlike other companies / platforms

The plus of amazon is that you can purchase anything .Besides they deliver your purchase in 24 hours

As for me amazon is very efficient and yet it is expensive

But the negative side is that it increases redundancy = unemployment

Moreover it eliminates = kills competition / competitors

STEP 5  PARTNER A AMAZON GO
