Amazon announces $15 minimum wage for all US employees
Applies to Whole Foods and all other subsidiary employees
Amazon is raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour for all US employees. The
change takes effect November 1 and applies to full-time, part-time and temporary
workers. Amazon (AMZN) says the $15 minimum wage will benefit more than 250,000
Amazon employees, plus 100,000 seasonal workers. The change applies to Whole
Foods and all other subsidiary employees.
"We listened to our critics, thought hard about what we wanted to do, and
decided we want to lead," said Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and CEO. "We're
excited about this change and encourage our competitors and other large
employers to join us."
Amazon also said its public policy team will begin lobbying for an increase in
the federal minimum wage, which has been $7.25 an hour since 2009.

Commentary: Amazon wage hike driven by political, economic imperatives
Amazon's decision to raise its minimum U.S. wage to $15 an hour is both a
politically savvy move and a change made out of economic necessity. It also
comes at a time when Amazon's profitability is improving, so the company is in
good shape to make the change.
While some of the allegations levied against Amazon with regards to its labor
practices are hyped, political pressure has been mounting for some time with
regard to low wages. The narrative that Amazon is an ungenerous employer at a
time when the company's sales, profits, and valuation are soaring does not play
well among many customer segments. Amazon will hope that this move demonstrates
its commitment to staff and their wellbeing.
Although the hike is partly political, there is also an economic imperative to
increase wages. Amazon's superior growth necessitates a lot of recruitment which
is becoming increasingly difficult in a tight labor market. This is especially
so over the holiday season. Without a rise in wages, Amazon would be placing
itself at a disadvantage in the labor market.

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer and Los Angeles Police Department Partner
with ALTO US to Battle the Growing Problem of ORC in Los Angeles
They
strike quickly, criminals who are becoming increasingly more brazen and
dangerous as they grab highly sought-after product from store shelves, ripping
off retailers and reselling it for financial gain. Organized retail crime (ORC)
is happening more often and cost the overall U.S. retail economy $49.8 billion
in losses in 2017 according to a study by the National Retail Federation.
Today City Attorney Mike Feuer, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and
ALTO US announced they are teaming up to implement the retail risk management
solution,
ALTO Alliance, a technology platform with comprehensive analytics that ties
together retailers' data with industry-wide resources, efficiently bridging the
gap between retail, law enforcement, and the judicial system to prosecute repeat
offenders and organized retail crime gangs.
Los Angeles ranks as the number one city in the U.S. for ORC, according
to the National Retail Federation 2017 Organized Retail Crime survey.

Survey: 32% of Coworking Tenants Experienced Theft from Ex-Coworker
According to a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. office workers, traditional access
control methods are costly and becoming more vulnerable by the minute.
The survey, commissioned by NexKey, found that nearly 60 percent of people
surveyed would prefer to use their smartphones to access spaces over more
traditional methods such as keys or cards.
Those traditional methods have been proved vulnerable in modern workplaces; 17
percent of respondents said an ex-coworker or employee has stolen from their
workplace using their old key, and more than a quarter of respondents have had
to replace their locks within the last year because an employee lost their key
or failed to return it. Of respondents who had to replace their locks, 25
percent said they had to do so four to six times in the last year.

Dunkin' employees fired after viral video shows worker
dumping water on homeless man
Dunkin' has fired the employees involved in a viral video that shows one worker
in a New York store dumping a pitcher of water on a homeless man while another
person laughs.
The video posted Sunday night shows the man, identified as Jeremy Dufresne by
The Post-Standard in Syracuse, New York, sitting at a table with his head
down. One employee at the Syracuse store says something about Dufresne sleeping,
then dumps the water on him.
The video, which has racked up more than 1 million views on Facebook,
attracted the attention of homeless advocate Al-amin Muhammad. He visited the
store Monday, asking employees about the incident and threatening a boycott
if the situation was not addressed.
Muhammad said he felt the staff brushed off his concerns; he organized a
demonstration in front of the Dunkin' later that day.

Ex-eBay, PayPal Exec Faces SEC Insider Trading Suit
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission hit eBay Inc. and PayPal Holding
Inc.'s former director of SEC reporting with a lawsuit in California federal
court Friday, claiming he illegally made $36,000 off insider tips regarding
PayPal's 2015 acquisition of digital money transfer company Xoom Corp.
The SEC accuses Brian B. Long of violating the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
by spending $15,500 for Xoom stock options leading up to PayPal's acquisition of
Xoom while he was the SEC reporting director of eBay, which owned PayPal until
July 17, 2015.
Long was eBay's director of SEC reporting from October 2013 to July 2015
before moving to PayPal after the company split off from eBay, where he held the
same title until December 2015.

Justice Department Awarding Nearly $320 Million to Combat Opioid Crisis
On the first day of National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, the Department of
Justice announced it is awarding almost $320 million to combat the opioid crisis
in America. The unprecedented funding will directly help those most impacted by
the deadliest drug crisis in American history, including crime victims,
children, families, and first responders.
In 2017, more than 72,000 Americans lost their lives to drug overdoses, an
increase from the 64,000 overdose deaths in 2016, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. The majority of these deaths can be attributed
to opioids, including illicit fentanyl and its analogues.

Suit From CVS, Others To End Opioid Tribal Court Case Axed
An Oklahoma federal judge on Wednesday tossed a lawsuit from CVS, drug
distributor McKesson Corp. and other companies to stop an effort in tribal court
to make them pay for the opioid crisis, finding that the claims are moot since
the Cherokee Nation dismissed its tribal court case.
Wednesday's ruling marks the latest twist in the knotted litigation aimed at
McKesson Corp., AmerisourceBergen Corp., Cardinal Health Inc., CVS Health Corp.,
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and Walmart Inc.
The multifront battle began last year when the Cherokee Nation filed suit in its
tribal court accusing the companies of helping to create rampant opioid
addiction among tribal members. At the heart of the fight is the tribe's
allegations that the companies allowed opioids to be diverted to unauthorized
users and to the black market.

This is the beginning of the end for Lord & Taylor's flagship store
Host of the D&D Daily's 'Live in NYC' 2018 LPNN Shoot
The
upscale retailer's 104-year-old flagship store at 424 Fifth Ave. - New York
City's oldest - is set to launch a final "store closing" sale on Thursday that
will hawk deals on fashions and accessories throughout the holidays before the
store shuts down for good.
The Grand Dame of Big Apple department stores, with its six huge sidewalk
windows between 38th and 39th streets, had been perennially decked out during
the Christmas season with spectacular displays for shoppers and tourists. This
year, however, the storefront will be limited to just two holiday-decorated
windows. They will celebrate the Lord & Taylor brand and say "Thank You" to New
York for the decades of loyal business, the company said.
In an unusual move, Lord & Taylor's Canada-based owner Hudson's Bay Co., which
also owns Saks Fifth Avenue, is keeping Lord & Taylor's 45 other locations open,
even as it closes the historic flagship.

Pushout Theft Prevention vs. EAS:
The Winner is Clear
Gatekeeper's Purchek
Technology Stops Theft In Its Tracks
Retail Loss Prevention/Asset Protection (LP/AP) professionals have employed many
initiatives to try to ensure that whatever merchandise exits the store is paid
for. Two of the most popular technologies designed to accomplish this are
Gatekeeper Systems Purchek, a Pushout Theft Prevention Solution, and Electronic
Article Surveillance (EAS). Although most LP/AP professionals know what EAS is
and how it works, some may be unfamiliar with Gatekeeper's Purchek Pushout Theft
Prevention system.
"Not
On My Watch!" said the Shopping Cart
In simple terms, Gatekeeper's Purchek solution consists of placing a specially
designed wheel on each shopping cart that locks up whenever the cart exits the
store without first passing through an operational checkout lane. (Click here to
see a video of Gatekeeper's Purchek technology in action.) This ensures that
shoplifters utilizing Pushout Thefts as their method of operation, which are
also those causing the most loss to retailers, are quite literally stopped in
their tracks. Consider that
www.pushouttheft.com has calculated the average loss
per Pushout Theft to be $803. Stopping theft of this level is a technological
accomplishment of no small feat.
Measuring Effectiveness
EAS technology is a system based on "deterrence model", while Purchek utilizes
a "physical stop" PLUS a "deterrence model." Moreover, Purchek forces behavioral
changes that create a large risk of exposure for the thief. This means thieves
tend to take their sinister deeds down the road to other retailers who pose less
risk of detection.
Find out why 19 of the top 20 retailers that use shopping carts rely on
Gatekeeper
solutions.

Data: 38% of retailers admit they've become more exposed to cyber threats
Amazon is no longer the biggest threat to retailers; it's a 15-year-old computer
supremo with designs on stealing their data. Cyber attacks are on the rise and
come with huge ramifications, as British Airways will soon discover following a
breach earlier this month that compromised the bank details of 380,000 of its
customers.
A large-scale data hack not only ruins brand reputation and customer trust, it
also results in potentially massive fines.
In 2018 alone, 15 retailers have suffered breaches to their customer data,
including Fortnum & Mason, Whole Foods and, most recently, Superdrug.
Dixons Carphone confirmed in July that 10 million of its customer records had
been breached in 2017, up from its original estimate of 1.2 million. The
electronics specialist was still reeling from a £400,000 fine in January this
year - one of the largest fines ever issued by the Information Commissioner's
Office - over a data breach in 2015, when hackers gained unauthorised access to
the personal data of more than 3 million customers and 1,000 employees.
However, retailers are failing to take proactive steps to protect their
businesses, with recent research from IT security management provider Tanium
showing that 38% of retail IT personnel admit their organisation is now more
exposed to cyber threats than 12 months ago.

California Enacts First-in-Nation IoT Security Law
The nation's first IoT security act was just signed into law in California. The
law isn't just about the IoT, but billions of small connected devices will have
to add critical features if they're sold in the state after Jan. 1, 2020.
SB-327 is broad legislation that applies, with some exceptions, to "...any
device, or other physical object that is capable of connecting to the Internet,
directly or indirectly, and that is assigned an Internet Protocol address or
Bluetooth address." Those devices will be required to have basic security
capabilities installed - though precisely what those might be is not spelled
out in the legislation.

FBI forces suspect to unlock iPhone with Face ID
First known case of its kind
A U.S. federal investigator has forced a criminal suspect to unlock his iPhone X
using Face ID after receiving a warrant from the District Court for the Southern
District of Ohio's Eastern Division, in the first known case of its kind
anywhere in the world, Forbes reports. The iPhone was seized when FBI agents
carried out a search warrant at the suspect's house in August. When it was
eventually unlocked, it was found to contain evidence relevant to the
investigation, including messages which discussed the abuse of minors. The
investigator was not able to extract all of the data he sought from the device,
as a passcode is required to connect the iPhone to a computer and transfer files
if it has been locked for more than an hour.

Some Amazon sites should be added to 'Notorious
Markets' list because of counterfeits, apparel industry group says
The American Apparel & Footwear Association, which represents more than 1,000
brands,
recommended on Monday that certain Amazon sites be added to the U.S.
government's annual "Notorious Markets" list, which identifies commerce sites
and companies that facilitate the sale of counterfeit goods.
"Amazon has been a leader of, and has made valuable contributions to, the future
of retail," AAFA said in a statement. "We believe Amazon can, and should, be
a leader in the fight against counterfeits."
The Notorious Markets list is put out every year by the U.S. Trade
Representative, highlighting physical and online retailers that enable copyright
piracy, trademark infringement and counterfeiting. Amazon has never been on the
list, but AAFA is now advocating that the company's properties in the U.K.,
Canada and Germany be added this year.
cnbc.com
Extra inventory. More sales. Lower prices. How
counterfeits benefit Amazon
So ingrained is Amazon in our purchasing habits that more than half of all
product searches begin on the site rather than alternatives such as Google. The
world's second-most valuable company by market capitalization behind Apple Inc.
is on pace to capture half of all online sales in the U.S this year, according
to research firm eMarketer.
Amazon's market dominance gives it the power to influence the future of retail.
How it handles counterfeiters could shape the behavior of the entire industry,
experts say.
There's little authorities can do apart from name and shame offenders. Alibaba's
primary platform Taobao has repeatedly been included in the United States Trade
Representative's list of "Notorious Markets" for selling counterfeits.
Then there's Amazon. Not only has the platform avoided any serious backlash for
allowing the sale of fake goods, it's actually thrived from it, say more than
two dozen brand owners, e-commerce consultants, attorneys, investigators and
public policy experts.
Sellers of fake goods pay transaction and shipping fees just like legitimate
businesses. But counterfeits also help Amazon's bottom line in other ways.
The company aspires to be the store of first resort for everything, which means
it needs as many brands and sellers as it can get, all offering goods at low
prices. Counterfeiters help pressure brands to sell their wares on the site.
Companies that avoid Amazon risk letting counterfeiters determine how their
goods appear to customers on the most influential e-commerce site - ceding
control, for instance, of which pictures are used to promote a product and which
colors and sizes are offered.
Counterfeits on Amazon "enhance its market power over suppliers," said
Stacy Mitchell, co-director of the non-profit Institute for Local Self-Reliance,
which has studied the impact of intellectual property infringement on small
companies. "Counterfeits help Amazon, and that's why they're reluctant to act on
them."
Amazon disputes it benefits from counterfeits and says it has a
zero-tolerance policy when it comes to fakes. It's investing in
machine-learning tools to weed out counterfeits. It offers a program called
Brand Registry, which is supposed to give sellers and intellectual property
owners more control of their listings. It says more than 99.9% of Amazon page
views go to sellers that have never been accused of infringement. And shoppers
can request refunds if they receive a knockoff. Read more at

Study: Shopping habits can lead consumers to buy

actually looking for counterfeit products, and 35% of those purchasing fake
footwear were not aware of it at the time. But about 80% said they were
confident in their ability to spot counterfeit footwear.

Update: New Haven, CT: Kingpin of ORC Fencing
Operation sentenced to 6.5 years; re-sold over $6M in stolen goods
A
district judge sentenced George Connelly Jr., 48, of New Haven to prison for his
role in fencing $1.5 million worth of goods from 2007 to 2016, according to a
news release. Connelly will serve 78 months in prison followed by three years of
supervised release. Connelly and co-defendent Paul Muzyka, of North Haven,
operated a secondhand store, Ace Amusements at 42 Kimberly Ave. in New Haven,
where they bought stolen property from people known as "boosters," typically
shoplifters with drug addictions, the release said. The goods were stolen from
retail stores such as Target, Lowe's, Home Depot and CVS Pharmacy then sold at
Ace Amusements and on eBay for about one-third their price. The stolen products
also were sold to other resellers who later resold them online. Another co-defendent,
William Reidell of Branford, was one reseller who bought from Ace Amusements,
according to the release.
Muzyka pleaded guilty in March to one count of conspiracy to commit the
interstate transport of stolen property and one count of interstate transport of
stolen property, the release said. Connelly and Reidell were found guilty in May
on the same counts.
The judge ordered Connelly, as part of the sentence, to forfeit $10,339 seized
from his and Ace Amusements' bank accounts, around $13,000 in cash seized from
Connelly and from inside Ace Amusements January 2016 and an interest of $86,221
in a house he owns on Tuttle Drive in New Haven, the release said. Connelly was
released on $100,000 bail and ordered to report to prison Dec. 3. Reidell's
sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 2, and Muzyka's for Nov. 15.

Dyer, IN: 200 phony credit cards found in men's
possession at a gas station
Three men are charged with fraud, forgery and counterfeiting after police were
called to a Dyer gas station for reports they possessed 200 fake credit cards.
Adrian Shackelford, Mario J. Vasser, and Juquan E. Lofton were charged Friday
with fraud on a financial institution, counterfeiting, forgery, fraud,
intimidation and misdemeanor theft.
Dyer police were dispatched to Exxon Mobil in Dyer, for reports of a possible
robbery. Officers detained two men inside the store and two more men sitting in
a van parked outside. Officers discovered 200 phony credit cards bearing 10
different names during a search of the vehicle and a backpack belonging to the
men. A store clerk told authorities she called 911 because she feared the men
were going to commit a crime.
She said one of the men, identified as Vasser, carried the backpack containing
the credit cards. She said the men took turns attempting to use the various
cards to purchase cigarettes, joking about finding a "good one," records state.
She said she was too intimidated to stop them. She said Vasser told her, "I can
go out to the car and get a ski mask and rob you," during the transactions.

get robbed a lot." "There are certain characteristics that are similar, and our
detectives are trying to see if this is the same person committing those
crimes," Parizek said.

How to Get
Your Employees to Stay: Appreciate Their Uniqueness,
Empower Your Team, Experiment Often and Consider Your Culture
|
|
|
|
|
|
Professionalism or the lack thereof is a reflection of a
person's inner self. How an executive presents themselves and talks about their
former jobs, bosses and colleagues is a real indication of how they'll talk
tomorrow about who they're working with today. And while it's human nature to be
interested in the gossip, it's usually the wolf in sheep's clothing and the one
who has the need to rationalize that has the most to say.
Just a Thought, Gus
