that works at amazon? we're now be allowed to meet on company premises outside of working hours, which previously wasn't allowed? well, i think this is a huge victory for labor that the current general counsel of the national labor relations board is made clear that she is serious about enforcing worker's rights to unionize. and this is going to have an in norm, its impact in the united states. amazon is one of the biggest employers. and this settlement sends a strong message that employers, no matter what their sides have to fight with us law and give their workers the opportunity to join together and act collectively in their own interests. amazon. as you know, incredibly powerful company. do you expect it to abide by the changes? will the labor board monitor the changes? what, what significant about this agreement is that amazon has agreed to these conditions? and so if it does not abide by them, the labor board will be able to enforce them without going through all of the procedures which can be quite

around 12 pm eastern amazon web services actually went down. let me just tell you, this is not just about getting your package delivered on time. are watching the latest episode of the marvelous this maze of everything, from communication to security, to popular business apps, we're all found to be non operational following. the amazon cloud computing unit, being out in the u. s. east one region. so it's free and been wanting us to discuss what has happened to the popular service and the ramifications. ben, even here, we're suffering technical glitches. i have to tell you, i'm a little kind of shocked right now cuz i didn't realize how much even my personal and my professional world is dependent on things that have links to this amazon web services. do we know what has happened to cause this outage? yeah, so apparently it is some kind of a disconnection that's taking place on the east coast in a centralized location. i don't know all the details of it, but the centralized location which indicates that all these different cloud services that are

so here i think it's reassuring for the book industry outside of amazon, amazon, amazon shouldn't have a monopoly on international sales because we can feel it locally in france. so if we can remedy this unfair competition so much the better business, because i think it's important in society to help local businesses and especially booksellers buy books directly from the bookseller rather than amazon. but of course, it's also important to keep an eye on good value for money hashed. i am ready to play more. our booksellers offer us a service that is not bad, and advised that amazon cannot necessarily give us. i think it's a good idea to help them. well, if i find that a sales platform cannot replace booksellers with their advice, but we must admit that it's extremely practical either when we're far from the points of sale or when i'm looking for a very specific product. and i know that on this platform, i will find it. nevertheless, we must maintain a balance of all sales channels and indeed, one must not be able to kill the other. and especially booksellers, this is not the 1st time th

now, yes, it doesn't seem like this is just amazon. it seems to be really a big moment for the labor movement in the united states. why is that? yeah, definitely is, i mean, i live in this country for more than 20 years, and i have to say that in many areas working conditions have not really improved during that time spend. but now what we're experiencing in the united states is the shortage and the labor market. and that gives the workers a much better bargaining tool. and then they probably had in a decade that we just heard to him. yesterday the kellogg workers decided to end their strike that went on for 11 weeks. and as far as i've seen, of the workers got all their demands fulfilled them. we have people in hollywood threatening to go on strike. and we have people in google having their demand so. so yeah, definitely there is a big movement going on and with the labor shortage and workers definitely have a historic chance to make and push for some changes yann's court at new york. thank you so much. now ryan air expects its annual

cloud business and the practices by amazon. the ftc's scrutiny goes back actually to the former chair during the trump administration. this new outreach shows the new chair was a well-known critic of amazon. picking up this probe and pressing forward with it rather than just playing a drop. taylor: it seems like from this administration there has been a lot of rhetoric about they don't like monopolies, they don't like big tech. it almost feels like there is more bark than bite. have we not seen a lot of real action yet? >> i think that's a fair observation. there certainly has been a lot of noise from the administration about dominant companies not just in tech but in other sectors like agriculture. over the summer at the president signed this executive order calling for agencies to step up their efforts to promote competition in different industries. and you are right, the actual number of cases hasn't been really overwhelming. but there really hasn't been a new monopoly case. during the trump administration we saw a few of th

some of the warehouses that amazon uses are also built on the system. and so they haven't been able to get deliveries out today because the warehouse robots, remember, so much of amazon is automated, can't communicate with the warehouse workers. and so there's actually been a huge delay for products that were supposed to be shipped out today that couldn't get out because warehouse worker systems all went down as well. and don't forget the drivers, there's lots of pictures. the one things that i don't think i do, the amazon drivers are saying, hey, i'm kind of grounded right now. don't know where to go, don't know where to take the packages. so the people that are right now, you know, we did a little test here. we, you can still order on amazon and think that it's working, but you don't get the confirmation of it. are people going to have to go back and re check and make sure that they, you know, that they fit every t cross? i's dotted and other patches have been ordered right now or is this gets going to go back online and people are going to keep flowi
