Meg Brady posted one of the messages to the Facebook group and said she plans to attend the strike Monday.
Her post received more than 600 comments, some supportive, others calling her "lazy" and suggesting she look for employment elsewhere. Brady said that Prime Day doesn't come with any specific bonus or special pay rate outside of regular overtime pay, but did say management gives workers a special Prime Day T-shirt and sometimes a special treat.Amazon's growth in recent years has made it a target of labor activists who have pushed the company to improve conditions for fulfillment center workers. The company's market value has risen quickly, straddling the $1 trillion mark.
