Taking a Closer Look at the FTC Lawsuit Against Amazon - Publishers Weekly

There's a lot of information included.

Today, Panzer made a stop at the Publishers Weekly site. With a little digging in the posts our adventuresome kitty found one about the FTC's lawsuit against Amazon. He told you about the lawsuit when it was filed in September.

Jim Milliot's post contains newly available information in the FTC's lawsuit. Not only are Amazon's sales tactics at issue, but also the company's ability to gather customer information and present personalized purchase choices.

Panzer says, "It looks like they accuse Amazon of everything except stealing the neighbor's dog.""

Note: This is a very, very long post. Bring a cup of warm cocoa, a muffin, a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie (biscuit) to snack on while you read this.

Amazon Announces First Fulfillment Center in Alabama, Creating 1,500 Full-Time Jobs - Press Release

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he heard clapping and cheering outside. Following the jocularity took our kitty pilot to the Amazon press room. With no digging at all he discovered a post about Amazon's new Alabama fulfillment center.

The press release announces Amazon's newest fulfillment center is to be built in Bessemer, Alabama. As with all fulfillment centers employees will fill customer orders. The center will also make use of robotics to help the employees work more efficiently. The fulfillment center will employ 1,500 full-time employees. The employees will immediately be eligible for full company benefits. Benefits will include healthcare, 401k retirement plan, company stock, and maternity and parental leave. There's a link in the post for Amazon's hiring and employment information.

Is there a fulfillment center in all 50 states?

Panzer says, "It looks like Amazon is on a fulfillment center building spree. It seems like this little kitty reads about a new center ever two or three weeks."

Note: This is a long-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection.
