Workers' Prime Day Strike Could Pose a Problem for Amazon
Amazon workers at a Minnesota, fulfillment center plan to strike for six
hours on July 15, the first day of Amazon's Prime Day sales event. The
strike threat reportedly is linked to unsafe working conditions at
Amazon's warehouses, caused by low wages and pressure to meet shipping
demands. Union officials also want a larger portion of temporary
warehouse workers converted to full-time employees.

How to Run a Profitable Business on Amazon
Selling on Amazon can be an extremely profitable business all on its
own. Third-party sellers like small business owners and authors on
Amazon's marketplace account for 58 percent of gross merchandise volume.
This provides a huge opportunity for entrepreneurs to make a massive
profit. However, most entrepreneurs stop the process at taking a sale
rather than scaling it into something great.
