WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says that even if reports of high-pressure management techniques at Amazon are true, “they won’t be taking place anymore.”
Pelosi says Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos had said very clearly that “it’s not the company that he knows.”
A New York Times article over the weekend portrayed the online retailer’s work culture as “bruising” and “Darwinian.”
Pelosi visited the Amazon campus in Seattle on Tuesday to discuss the Equality Act, which would guarantee explicit, permanent protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. But she also noted House Democrats’ efforts to promote fair pay, paid leave, child care and retirement security for women.
The California Democrat says “this subject is front and center for us. And I believe that it will be now for Amazon.”

Could you please not re produce AP news articles if they are as bad as this one? Where is the back story? WTH did Amazon do? Where’s the text link to what Amazon did?
This story does not inform as much as it begs questions about What The Fuck?? Find a professional new source, please.

Mmmmm hmmmmm. And I fart unicorn/fairy dust because “I didn’t recognize” the stank of my last blast.
“Pelosi Says ‘Bruising’ Amazon Staff Practices 'Won’t Be Taking Place Anymore”
Based on what? Did Amazon issue a press release in concert with Pelosi? No.
Was there a memo sent out to Amazon employees saying the practices would be ending? No.
Did Bezos make any statement about the issues? No.
On what basis is she making this statement then? At whose behest? And most importantly; why is she making such a declarative statement with NO facts to back up her assertion?
Money?
Naaaa, couldn’t be…
