Laid-Off Workers Say New Amazon Center Gave Them False Hope
BY COREY HUTCHINS
When a 43-year-old underemployed Lexington minister scored a job working at the new Amazon distribution center in Cayce in November, he thought his financial troubles might be over. The part-time pastor had been in the home-building business before the recession dried up work. He’d been doing odd framing jobs as best he could, but he needed more stable full-time employment. After his mother told him about job openings at the new Amazon.com facility, he applied.
Like four other employees Free Times spoke with for this story, the pastor was hired by a temp service called SMX Staffing in November and was sent to work at Amazon. Just before Christmas, he was among roughly 60 workers laid off at 3:30 one morning.
Another employee says there were hundreds of workers laid off around the holidays. . . .

Fascists love slaves and treat them like slaves. Being a huge fish--or a whale in this case--in a small pond is heaven for them. If we stopped the state directed economy that is being directed by the likes of Jake Knotts (For God's sake's WHY do we think these freakin' idiots are good at anything other than getting elected?) we wouldn't have these problems.
ACROSS THE BOARD tax cuts and enforcing EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW (as required by the SC Constitution's routinely ignored equal protection clause) would stop the extortion of our tax dollars and other privilege$ by abusive mega-corporations like Amazon.con. If the tax burden were not so onerous here, there would be more jobs and then businesses would have to treat their employees better or lose them. In other words, they'd have to compete for good help instead of picking the cream of applicants, using them up and tossing them away because they know there are more desperate people just outside the door.
The government cannot dictate an economy. EVERY interference with the hiring and firing and internal matters of private companies is opening a can of worms where expectations are dictated by law and then not met by the privileged company--who is never punished by law. Eventually the companies run out of tax payer funded/legislatively bribed incentives and leave for better taxpayer pickings elsewhere.
It is far better to keep the idiots in the statehouse from redistributing taxpayer wealth to their elitist buddies in the name of "creating jobs" which is really creating slavery for workers in SC. Those drooling morons holding elected office are the last thing we need deciding what should be made or sold here, what kind of jobs we should have, and how many people should be hired.
The marketplace existed before government and is a natural result of human interaction. Government doesn't contribute to this process, they suck the blood out of those who not only make the natural functioning of human commerce possible but successful and thriving. It's time that citizens demand that the government respect our unalienable rights and force them to trust the people and their choices vs. the backroom shenanigan$ of Jake Knotts and other legislators' fascist favor factory.
