From strikes and hot deals: What you need to know about Amazon Prime Day

Jimmie Johnson: NEW VIDEO SHOWS A PLANE WRITING “AMAZON PRIME DAY” IN THE SKIES ABOVE BRISBANE AUSTRALIA.
THE MESSAGE HELPED KICK OFF THE RETAILER’S ANNUAL EVENT…WHICH IS KNOWN FOR ITS BIG SAVINGS ON ELECTRONICS AND APPLIANCES. BASICALLY A SUMMER-TIME CYBER MONDAY.
BUT NOT EVERYONE IS EXCITED FOR THE TWO-DAY EVENT.
A GERMAN TRADE UNION IS TELLING WORKERS AT SEVEN AMAZON WAREHOUSES TO GO ON STRIKE…AS THEY DID IN 2013.
AND NEW YORK CITY MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO SAID PRIME DAY IS QUOTE “A PERFECT DAY *NOT TO SHOP AMAZON.”
BUT IF YOU *ARE LOOKING TO GET THE BEST DEALS — SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER…
YOU NEED AN AMAZON PRIME ACCOUNT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PRIME DAYS.
AND YOU’LL FIND THE BIGGEST STEALS…ON AMAZON-BRANDED PRODUCTS.
THOUGH MAYBE THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM PRIME DAY…AMAZON ISN’T THE ONLY PLACE OFFERING SAVINGS.
LOTS OF OTHER RETAILERS WANT TO COMPETE FOR YOUR BUSINESS, SO PLACES LIKE WALMART, TARGET, AND BEST BUY ARE JOINING IN ON THE DISCOUNT DAYS AS WELL.
