http://www.facebook.com/TheOther98We just held a massive action at the Amazon.com shareholders meeting, pressuring them to leave ALEC or face their customers' wrath.
They wilted under pressure. They're leaving ALEC.
Hoping this pans out... will LBN it if I get an actual source with a URL and a title somewhere...

(30,678 posts)1. this is good, but watch ALEC change its name and reorganize

for its warehouse employees? How much would it cost the average consumer?
They'd just go to the next alternative that provides cheaper products at the cost of their employee's well being.
