The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Retailers Deploy Armies of Investigators to
Tackle ORC
Secret surveillance, mining customer data: How retailers help bag shoplifting
kingpins
National chain stores employ their own
investigators who build criminal cases against shoplifting rings. But legal
experts say concerns abound.
Robert
Whitley smiled wide as he showed off the mountains of merchandise inside his
sprawling warehouse. He may not fit the profile of a crime boss, but federal
prosecutors have described Whitley, who goes by Mr. Bob, as the leader of a
multimillion dollar shoplifting ring.
From 2011 to 2019, he sold more than $6 million worth
of stolen goods — everything from razors to Rogaine to
teeth-whitening strips — on Amazon and other online marketplaces, according to
court papers. Prosecutors say he paid professional shoplifters to steal
specific items from drug stores, supermarkets and big box retailers across
Georgia.
The case against Whitley was built not just by federal agents but corporate
investigators with CVS, Target and Publix, representing the kind of
collaboration that has grown more prevalent amid what industry groups say is a
historic spike in organized retail crime.
National retailers have filled the void with their own
armies of seasoned investigators. They spend months and sometimes
years gathering evidence against shoplifting rings and present nearly fully
formed criminal cases to law enforcement.
Many of the country’s major retailers — Target, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Home
Depot, Lowe’s and Publix supermarkets — now employ former police officers and
sheriff’s deputies who go to such lengths as secretly tailing people whom
they believe are part of a shoplifting enterprise, according to a NBC News
review of more than 50 organized retail theft prosecutions over the last 10
years.
“We only follow someone if we think they are part of a ring worth $1 million or
more,” said Ben Dugan, who heads CVS’ investigative arm, which started to
surveil Whitley four years before his indictment. “We don’t do small cases.”
Since
2020, an increasing number of states have launched organized retail crime
task forces that pair corporate investigators with police and prosecutors.
State attorneys general have created teams in Florida, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico
and Illinois. Plans are in the works in Connecticut and Michigan.
These corporate cops use many of the same tactics as law enforcement officers
— they surveil and question suspected shoplifters, run license plate searches,
and collect large amounts of personal data. But constitutional restrictions that
bind the actions of police and federal agents don’t apply to retail
investigators.

San Francisco's Retail Theft Crackdown
Confidence shook as efforts to crack down on retail theft continue
Law enforcement from the state level to cities here in the Bay Area say they are
cracking down on retail theft. Despite the crackdown, retail theft continues
to be an ongoing problem that impacts multimillion dollar businesses and
small shops alike.
Video of brazen thefts are all too common. Now, California Attorney General
Rob Bonta says the California Highway Patrol, working with local law enforcement,
has taken down one of the organized retail theft rings which has victimized
businesses in the South Bay.
In San Francisco, District Attorney Chesa Boudin announced that an ongoing
undercover operation targeting retail theft rings yielded one arrest; Allala
Mouaizi and another suspect, Said Mahtout. The DA said the suspects operated out
of Zain's Liquor store purchasing goods stolen from Nordstrom. Authorities said
Allala Mouaizi and Said Mahtou purchased stolen goods from undercover agents on
two separate occasions.
Investigators zeroed in on the pair after the California Department of Alcohol
and Beverage Control received a tip about the suspects from the San Francisco
Police Department and Nordstrom’s loss prevention team. While news of the
arrests is welcome, recent crime victims said they've lost faith that those
responsible will be caught or held accountable.
Shackleton said she doesn't want to close her doors, but with two burglaries in
eight months, and other businesses closing up shop, she has considered
it. "We don't want to be one of those businesses. But, the city's not making it
easy."
Overnight, San Francisco police confirm that a man broke a window at the Louis
Vuitton store on Union Square in the city, an unsettling reminder of the
thefts caught on camera November of last year.

How CVS is Driving Down Retail Crime &
Protecting Employees
Nevada Attorney General, CVS announce safety measures to prevent robberies
The Nevada Attorney General's office and CVS
Health have introduced a new measure meant to prevent pharmacy robberies.
All
97 CVS Pharmacies in Nevada are now using time-delay safe technology,
described as a way to help reduce organized retail crime and prevent on-demand
access to certain narcotics.
The technology electronically delays the time it takes for pharmacy employees to
open the safes. CVS says it introduced these safes at locations in Indianapolis
in 2015 and saw a 70% drop in pharmacy robberies.
Time-delay safes are now used in 22 states and Washington D.C., and CVS
says that's resulted in a 50% decline in robberies.
"The new security measures being implemented by CVS Health will help protect
Nevadans," Attorney General Aaron Ford said in a press release. "These new safes
will help reduce retail crime, protect employees and keep opioid medications
off the street."
The time-delay function can't be overridden, according to CVS, and all locations
in Nevada will have signs warning that the safes are in use.

California's ORC & Violence Surge
Which path will California take on criminal justice?
Last holiday season, cities in California reported
increased organized retail theft, as shocking videos of “smash and
grab” robberies circulated widely on social media. Mass shooting events
are still too common, including the tragic incident near the state’s Capitol
just weeks ago.
Searching
for the causes, many across the state are eager to blame the past decade of
criminal justice reforms and prison-downsizing efforts more generally —
including those intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 — which
significantly reduced the size and scope of California’s correctional system.
But is this blame misplaced? How are these reforms and crime connected, if at
all?
Perhaps more than any other state, California is immersed in a period of
fundamental reform to its criminal justice system. Since 2011, the state has
passed a series of reforms to downsize its massive prison population. The
COVID-19 pandemic furthered this trend, as the state reduced prison and
jail populations to slow the spread of the virus. California’s incarcerated
population is currently at its lowest level in over 30 years.
Research shows these reforms had no impact on violent crime and
only a modest impact on property crime. And,
while some types of crime have increased during the pandemic, overall rates in
recent years remain at near historic lows.
Despite increased investments, crime rates have not fallen proportionately,
suggesting the state is reaping diminishing crime-control returns on its
incarceration investments. The big question is: what’s next?

Battling Retail Crime & Violence Across the
Pond
Convenience store groups welcome introduction of new shopworker protection law
A new law which brings tougher penalties on
those who attack shopworkers has come into force.
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act was given royal assent on 28
April. It sees new provisions come into force that make attacking individuals
who serve the public an aggravated offence.
The ACS and NFRN have welcomed the passing of the new law, which alongside other
groups, such as Usdaw, have been campaigning to better protect shopworkers who
face abuse when doing their job.
Levels of abuse reached new highs during the pandemic, as figures from the ACS
2022 Crime Report showed that in the past year, 89% of colleagues working in
convenience stores have faced abuse in their job. More than 35,000
incidents of violence have taken place, with over 16,000 incidents including
the use of a weapon.
ACS co-ordinated with over 100 retailers and other trade bodies the Home
Office-backed ShopKind campaign, urging customers to be respectful of colleagues
in stores. Polling conducted for the campaign showed that more than a third of
consumers had witnessed violence and abuse against shopworkers.
NFRN national president Narinder Randhawa said: “Attacks against store owners
and their staff have been increasing for a number of years, so I am pleased that
we are now being given the same protection in law as other frontline workers."

Crime Concerns: Overblown or Underreported?
How does Seattle feel about crime? It’s complicated
Crime gets a lot of airtime in Seattle these days. Headlines abound about
retail theft and gun violence. Crime rates
have increased. But perceptions of crime and safety can vary greatly from
reality.
Respondents were asked whether they think crime is exaggerated, underplayed
or accurately portrayed by the media. The city is nearly evenly split on the
question: 35% said the media exaggerates how bad the city’s crime is, 32%
said crime is being underreported, 25% said reports are accurate and 8% have
no opinion.
Those views of crime weren’t formed in a vacuum. The Seattle Police Department’s
2021 crime report showed there were 5,340 reports of violent crime in 2021,
up 20% from 2020’s 4,466 reports. There were 42,049 reports of
property crime in 2021, a 9% increase from 2020’s
38,714.

COVID Cases Continue to Tick Upward
Predicting the Next Significant COVID Surge
Most Americans have now had Covid - but experts are predicting the next surge
In the next few weeks, the US is likely to record its 1 millionth reported
Covid-19 death, a number that is so staggering it seems unbelievable.
There is an uptick in cases in the US and hospitalizations are up 10% since last
week. Hopefully the rate of deaths continues to fall.
The warning from Dr. Deborah Birx -- the White House Coronavirus Response Task
Force coordinator during the Trump era, who is out with a new book -- is that we
can expect surges in cases in the South in the summer and in the North in the
winter.
"Each of these surges are about four to six months apart. That tells me
that natural immunity wanes enough in the general population after four to six
months -- that a significant surge is going to occur again," Birx said.

COVID's Retail Impact
What Hy-Vee has learned from COVID
Retailers learned some valuable lessons about the need to stay flexible, the
importance of putting the employee and customer safety first, and the

The Pandemic Has Permanently Altered Retail
How Fashion Can Work With Shoppers to Move Beyond COVID
It’s been more than two years since COVID-19 shut down the world and turned
life, including retail, on its ear. Stores and brands scrambled to serve
customers while operating within mandated restrictions or safety protocols. But
now that we’ve gone through the virus’ Delta strain and made it past the Omicron
variant,
restrictions are being lifted in most states. And that’s good news for
retailers — as long as they take the lessons learned during COVID to reset
how they do business going forward.
Already, the majority of consumers (77 percent) have shopped for clothes in
physical stores and more than half (53 percent) have returned to spending
time at malls and shopping areas, according to the Coronavirus Response
Survey (Wave 10).
Going forward, the majority of consumers say they want clothing stores to
continue with some of the practices that began during the pandemic. They
want retailers to offer online ordering with curbside or in-store pickup (76
percent), according to the Coronavirus Response Survey. They also want apparel
retailers to offer same day delivery (69 percent), close in-person locations
when case numbers surge (66 percent), space clothing racks, display tables,
etc., apart to allow for social distancing (66 percent), ensure all staff wear
face masks (68 percent), require customers wear face masks (63 percent),
and limit in-store occupancy (59 percent).

Return to the Office Not Going As Planned?
Just weeks after returning to the office, many Apple workers are unhappy and
ready to quit
A few weeks after
Apple started requiring workers to spend at least a couple of days in the office,
many employees are unhappy. Seventy-six percent of Apple workers
surveyed said they were dissatisfied with Apple’s return-to-office policy
that was implemented after the COVID pandemic started waning.
The findings show that Apple may be having a tough time with its hybrid work
plan, which started on
April 11, that requires corporate workers come into the office once a
week. Under the policy, in-office attendance is set to increase on May 23,
when workers must go into the office three days weekly.
Up until mid-April, many Apple employees had been working entirely from home
for two years. Now, accustomed to no commute, they're now balking at having
to return to the office and say they will seek jobs at other tech companies that
offer more flexible work arrangements.
A sizable number of workers—56%—claimed they are looking to leave Apple
expressly because of its office requirement. It’s unclear how many actually
will carry through.

Shortage
Police shortage prompts U.S. Capitol to use security contractors
Contract
security officers will start work Monday as part of a new program to
help alleviate staffing shortages within the Capitol Police, according to a
letter from the Capitol Police Board to lawmakers and staff obtained by CQ Roll
Call. The new Capitol security officers will be unarmed and have a uniform of
gray dress pants and a navy blue blazer. They will be positioned inside
secured buildings and within existing patrol areas.
The move “will free up the USCP officers to focus on their critical mission
to protect the Capitol complex,” according to the announcement from House
Sergeant at Arms William Walker, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson and
Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton. Since the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection,
officers leaving and forced overtime have been a constant strain on the
department.
The Capitol Police department lost between 140 and 150 officers from Jan. 6,
2021 to Jan. 6, 2022, an attrition rate double that of other years, Chief J.
Thomas Manger has said. As of late March, there are around 1,849 officers,
approximately 300 short of what the Manger has said is necessary.

Another Retail Union Effort Picks Up Steam
Apple Store workers in Maryland begin union drive
It’s the third store to effort a campaign,
setting up a potential labor battle with Apple.
Workers at an Apple store in Maryland are taking steps to unionize, CNBC
confirmed Tuesday. It’s the third store to effort a campaign, setting up a
potential labor battle with Apple.
Organizers at the
Towson
Mall location, which is near Baltimore, have been coordinating with the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The group has
signatures from more than 65% of employees who would likely be eligible to
vote, according to
The Washington Post, which first reported the news.
The group would organize as the Coalition of Organized Retail Employees, or
AppleCore, the outlet said. They notified Apple CEO Tim Cook of their plans
and intend to file paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board in the
coming days, according to the Post.
Worker activism has surged since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the nation in early
2020, leading to a strained labor market. Workers have seized the moment to
demand higher wages and improved benefits.

'The Great Resignation' Ramps Up Again
More Americans quit their jobs in March than ever before
The Great Resignation, in which companies across the United States are
experiencing historic turnover, is showing no signs of slowing down. In fact,
the mass exodus
ramped up last month.
More Americans than ever before – 4.54 million – quit their jobs in March,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Tuesday. That’s an increase of
152,000 from February and higher than the former record of 4.53 million in
November 2021. The professional and business services sector, as well as the
construction industry, saw the most resignations.
Job openings in the labor and hospitality industry declined by 45,000, a
drop of 2.6% on a monthly basis, while hiring increased by 40,000. The sector
has an unemployment rate of 5.9%, still a bit higher than its pre-pandemic
level, CNBC reported. As for other fields, retail and manufacturing job
postings rose, while government jobs and positions in transportation,
warehousing and utilities decreased, CNN Business reported.

Retailers Struggling to Make Rent
A third of small retailers can’t pay rent as financial struggles spike again
The share of small retail businesses that couldn’t make rent rose to 34% in
April, up six percentage points from February, according to survey data from
Alignable.
Those surveyed cited inflation, including gas price spikes, supply chain
issues, labor shortages, reduced revenues and increasing rent. Of those
small businesses surveyed by Alginable, 46% said their rent was higher than six
months ago.
Trouble making rent varied from state to state. Across all industries, New
Jersey, Illinois and Maryland had the largest share of small businesses that
couldn’t pay. Other states, including New York and Texas, saw improvement in
businesses’ ability to pay.

American Importers Accuse Shipping Giants of Profiteering
Carriers are exploiting the supply chain chaos to breach contracts and
jack up rates, importers say in asking for federal intervention.
The frustrations are part of a chorus of grievance directed at the 10 companies
that dominate international shipping, all of them based outside the United
States. In a global economy long dependent on cheap ocean cargo, the chaos
roiling the seas has provoked accusations of monopolistic practices by the
shipping giants, prompting businesses to prepare complaints they plan to file at
the Federal Maritime Commission, which regulates the industry. It has also
triggered legislation in Congress aimed at beefing up the commission’s authority
to challenge abuses by shipping firms.

Webinar: Why RFID Remains The Foundation
For Retail Technology
Thu, May 5, 2022 | 2:00 PM EDT
"Why RFID Remains the Foundation for All Retail Technology"
will focus in on the key technologies that retailers are investing in, and why
inventory accuracy enabled by RFID is a critical enabler to these investments.
During this webinar, Checkpoint Systems will partner with Zebra Technologies to
walk through the direct impact RFID has made on retail and what steps can be
taken to build a concrete business case.
We know that retail technology priorities have rapidly changed over the last few
years and will continue to evolve as the world moves past these recent events.
At the core, we see that consumer behavior and lack of brand loyalty has driven
changes in how the consumer shops and the relative shift from online shopping
back to in-store shopping.
As a remedy, we see retailers and brands alike investing in technologies that
will elevate the shopping experience for the consumer. However, without the
retailer knowing what product they actual have and where it is located, the
impact of these technologies can only go so far. RFID adoption continues to
improve, as C-Suite executives at leading brands and retail organizations
realize the impact inventory visibility has on EVERY technology investment.
With retail evolving so quickly, the consumer behavior is permanently changing
and all the technology investments in the world will not matter if you don't
know WHERE your inventory is.
Join
Checkpoint Systems and
Zebra Technologies
as we dive into why RFID is the foundation for all retail technologies.

It's Not Just Big Businesses Suffering
Cyberattacks
No business is too small for a cyber-attack: Protect yours with cyber insurance
When cyber-attacks happen to the likes of Colonial Pipeline, SolarWinds,
Target and other big businesses, media outlets
take note. These large attacks garner 24/7 international attention, and for good
reason. Millions of consumers place their trust in these companies, and when
their data and networks are compromised their customers are at risk.
News headlines announcing the latest and greatest cyber-attacks can lead us to
believe that it's only the large corporations that are vulnerable. This simply
isn't the case. At the end of 2019, CNBC reported that bad actors targeted
small businesses 43% of the time. What's worse is that over 60% of small
businesses that fall victim to a data breach are out of business six months
later due to the financial and reputational losses incurred.
As a small business owner, you are an attractive target to cyber criminals.
Similar to the headline grabbing victims mentioned before, you likely store
personal data and intellectual property, and you probably depend on your systems
and networks to operate your business. Unlike the Targets of the world, you may
not have the budget or the in-house expertise for a comprehensive cybersecurity
program. These factors combined open your doors to a cyber-attack.
It's up to you to start implementing these best practices to protect your
business. Unfortunately, even the best cybersecurity plans can still be
susceptible to an attack. And, it's for this very reason that we recommend
all businesses consider a cyber insurance policy.
What is cyber insurance?
Cyber insurance is a way for business owners to transfer some of their cyber
risk to an insurance policy. The threat of a cyber-attack on your business
is a fundamental risk just like the risk of a fire destroying your property or a
customer slipping and falling at your business. You purchase property and
liability insurance for these exposures. Unfortunately, traditional policies
don't provide substantial protection from a cyber-related loss. A standalone
cyber insurance policy should be a part of your insurance program just like
property, liability, and workers compensation insurance have been for decades.
insurancenewsnet.com
Businesses Suffering Weekly Cyberattacks
A third of businesses suffer weekly cyber attacks, government research finds
In
a recent government survey, it was found that almost one-in-three (31%) of
businesses and a quarter (26%) of charities say they suffer cyber-attacks every
week. Despite the frequency of attacks increasing since 2021, the amount of
businesses experiencing cyber-attacks has remained virtually the same.
Referencing the report, Julia Lopez, the Minister for Media, Data and Digital
Infrastructure, said: “It is vital that every organisation take cyber
security seriously as more and more business is done online and we live in a
time of increasing cyber risk.
“No matter how big or small your organisation is, you need to take steps to
improve digital resilience now and follow the free government advice to help
keep us all safe online.”
Many have warned that the sustained level of cyber-attacks indicates the
necessity for businesses to do everything they can to deter attackers. Some
suggest that the war in Ukraine could lead to an increased risk in cyber attacks
in the UK, particularly on public data.

Willard Bays filed a would-be class action against Walmart and CaptureRx,

More COVID Protest Clashes
Canadian police face off with protesters opposed to mandates
Police wearing helmets and shields made several arrests Friday night in Canada’s
capital after facing off against protesters opposed to COVID-19 mandates.
Big-rig
trucks attempted to make their way to Parliament Hill as part of the “Rolling
Thunder” rally, organized by Freedom Fighters Canada, a group dedicated to
speaking out against COVID-19 mandates.
Many of the protesters were also part of the three-week Freedom Convoy
demonstration that gridlocked Ottawa’s downtown earlier this year with big
rigs, prompting Canada's federal government to invoke the Emergencies Act for
the first time. That protest ended after hundreds of police officers moved in to
disperse the crowds, making dozens of arrests.
Ottawa police promised earlier Friday that protesters would not be allowed to
get a foothold for a prolonged occupation.
More than 800 reinforcements were called in from the RCMP, Ontario
Provincial Police and regional police services to guard every major downtown
intersection and prevent protesters from bringing vehicles into the core.

The Pandemic & Workplace Safety
COVID-19 still a work safety concern
Over the course of the ongoing pandemic, an increase in COVID-19 related claims
has been reported by BC’s workers compensation board, WorkSafeBC. According to
their website, 12,619 claims relating to COVID-19 were submitted over the
past 14 months. Only 72% of these were accepted. While healthcare and
education are the two subsectors with the highest amount of claims, retail and
service businesses don’t trail far behind. These businesses have had their own
set of challenges.
With over 3.7 million total cases recorded in Canada so far, and 510 million
worldwide, completely avoiding the pandemic while on the job is simply not
possible for the vast majority of workers in Merritt, and all over.
Although employers in BC are no longer required to have a WorksafeBC approved
COVID-19 Safety Plan, they must now follow communicable disease guidance to
ensure the wellbeing of workers and customers alike.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been top of mind for most people in the business
community, leaving many struggling to keep up with ever-changing restrictions
and protocols. From an increased need for mental health support, to keeping
six feet apart in smaller spaces, the challenges can be felt in Merritt
businesses and beyond.

As mask mandates end, Canada’s Atlantic provinces see a virus resurgence
In Canada’s Atlantic provinces, once a refuge of sorts from the pandemic, there
has been a resurgence of known coronavirus infections at a time when most
provinces have ended mask mandates and scaled back data surveillance on virus
transmission.
The four eastern provinces — Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island — were relatively shielded, in part by
their location, from the rampant virus transmission that gripped the rest of
Canada during previous waves. Part of the strategy was to limit out-of-province
travelers in what came to be known as the Atlantic “bubble.”
The “bubble” has burst, but inter-province travel is less of a concern for
public health experts than the effects of recently ended mandates.

Retail Delivery via Drone Ready to Sweep
Canada?
Drone Delivery for Retailers in Canadian Cities Closer than Ever with Expanded
Testing Initiatives
Drones
have moved a step closer to scaling in Canadian cities with their deployment
expected to be used more and more by retailers in the coming years.
AirMatrix, an innovative
software company based in Toronto, has undertaken a new project to
accelerate research and development of its platform to inform communications
standards for commercial drone operations.
The company, which started in 2018, is deploying its platform in Calgary and
Waterloo. “We’re ecstatic to be expanding in Waterloo and now deploying in
Calgary. This is our first municipal deployment in Western Canada, having it in
this city speaks to the sincere efforts taking place to increase the amount of
innovative job opportunities, Alberta’s increased focus on clean energy options,
and efforts to increase lifestyle benefits to residents; this is a step in the
right direction,” said Bashir Khan, CEO, AirMatrix. “Long term, we see this as a
revenue generating economic engine for cities.”
Khan said it’s the only platform of its kind globally as it builds
millimeter-precise skyways in urban and suburban airspace, allowing cities
around the world to scale commercial drone operations. By providing traffic
management capabilities through the traffic manager dashboard, the operator
platform grants accurate conflict-free, 3D routes in real-time to enterprise
drones incorporating beyond visual line of sight operations. The sophistication
of the AirMatrix software with its safe, reliable, and dynamic monitoring
capabilities, is enabling new industry applications for drones to emerge and
scale as the industry evolves, he said.

Retail theft ring taken down, several young teens charged, Peel police say
Police west of Toronto say they have broken up an alleged theft ring and
recovered more than $80,000 in stolen property. Peel Regional Police say
they’ve charged 12 people, including three teenage girls and a teenage boy, in
the months-long probe. They say they began an investigation in November 2021
into a large-scale organized crime group in southern Ontario for retail theft.
Police say the probe involved multiple police agencies, Canada Border Services
Agency and teams from Shoppers Drug Mart and Walmart Canada. They raided
multiple places on Tuesday where they recovered thousands of dollars of
allegedly stolen goods. Police say a 14-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl are
among those charged.

Vancouver, BC: Police release video of ‘takeover-style’ robbery at Gucci shop
Vancouver
police have released a video of the suspects in a violent robbery at a downtown
Gucci store last year that left a staff member injured. Police have had the
security footage for months, they said in a Wednesday release, but were unable
to release it before now due to “investigative reasons.”
The video shows two masked men entering the boutique at Thurlow and
Alberni streets shortly after 7 p.m. on Dec. 9. They are seen bear-spraying a
security guard in a “takeover-style” robbery, ransacking the shop and stealing
about $20,000 in merchandise, according to police.
Police said the 33-year-old security guard was “completely incapacitated” by
the attack, then fled out an emergency exit and hid in a stairwell with
three other employees until the thieves left. All were treated by paramedics
afterward.

Amazon Walking the Tightrope
Amazon’s Quandary: Cutting Workers Without Fueling Labor Unrest
With sales growth slowing, company has too
many employees
Amazon.com
Inc., having added hundreds of thousands of workers during the pandemic,
now faces a quandary: how to trim its workforce to match slowing e-commerce
sales growth without fueling labor unrest and giving unions more ammunition.
When the world’s largest online retailer reported earnings on Thursday, it
acknowledged that the extra logistical capacity added to handle a surge in
demand from homebound consumers has left it with too many workers and a surfeit
of warehouse space. With shoppers returning to their pre-outbreak spending
habits, the company lost money in the last quarter, posted the slowest sales
growth since 2001 and
warned that revenue and profits would suffer in the current period.
Amazon responded to the pandemic by doubling the size of its logistics network
over a two-year period, a rapid buildout that exceeded that of rivals and
partners like Walmart Inc., United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp. For a
time, the Seattle company was opening a new warehouse somewhere in the U.S.
roughly every 24 hours.
Many investors hoped Amazon would be able to dial up profits once
pandemic-related strains eased because the company had plenty of new space and
could slow spending on new facilities. Instead Amazon overbuilt and is now
stuck with costs that are outstripping demand. The shares tumbled more than
10% on Friday, the worst intraday fall in more than a decade, and many analysts
rushed to lower their price targets.
The company is unlikely to close facilities because it remains committed to
one-day and same-day shipping, a key goal now that many of its competitors are
able to get products to customers in one or two days. However, Chief Financial
Officer Brian Olsavsky said this week that Amazon was slowing the pace of new
construction, pushing back the opening of planned warehouses.
The labor challenge is more fraught. Earlier this month, an upstart labor union
started by a fired Amazon worker won a historic victory at a company warehouse
in Staten Island, New York. On Monday, federal labor officials are expected to
start counting votes for an election at an Amazon facility across the street
from the first. Even if the union loses the second vote, labor organizers are
expected to attempt to organize other company warehouses across the U.S.

Amazon Tiptoes into Hot Button Political Issue
Amazon to Reimburse Employees Who Travel for Abortions, Other Treatments
Amazon.com Inc, the second-largest U.S. private employer, told its staff on
Monday it will pay up to $4,000 in travel expenses annually for non-life
threatening medical treatments including abortions, according to a message
seen by Reuters.
The decision makes the online retailer the latest company after Citigroup Inc,
Yelp Inc and others to respond to Republican-backed state laws curbing
abortion access, helping employees bypass them. It shows how companies are
eager to retain and attract talent in locations that remain important to their
operations despite legal changes impacting employees' health.
The U.S. Supreme Court is due to rule by the end of June in a case that gives
its conservative majority a chance to roll back abortion rights or even overturn
the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized the procedure nationwide.
About two dozen states including Oklahoma and Alabama have laws poised to
limit abortion access should the Roe ruling be overturned.
Amazon's new benefit, effective to Jan. 1 retroactively, applies if an
operation is not available within 100 miles (161 km) of an employee's home and
virtual care is not possible, the company's message said. It is open to U.S.
employees or covered dependents enrolled in Premera or Aetna health plans,
whether they work in a corporate office or a warehouse.

Columbus, GA: Update: Columbus residents found guilty after stealing over $900K
in multi-state Sam’s Club theft ring
Several Columbus-area residents involved in a multi-state Sam’s Club theft ring
amounting to $900,567 in loss to the company were sentenced to federal prison
for their crimes. The following suspects were found guilty:
●
46-year-old Brian Cowman, of Fortson, was sentenced to serve nearly four years
in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release. Cowman previously
pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to transport stolen goods.
●
68-year-old Marcel Crawford, of Columbus, was sentenced to serve nearly three
years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.
●
55-year-old Ernest Mitchell, of Columbus, was sentenced to serve just over four
years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release after they
previously pleaded guilty to one count conspiracy to transport stolen goods.
●
48-year-old Mildred Alarcon, of Fortson, previously pleaded guilty to one count
of false statements and was sentenced to three years of probation.
According to court documents, Cowman and Crawford conspired to transport and
sell stolen goods taken from numerous Sam’s Club stores located throughout the
southeastern and midwestern United States between March 2018 and Feb. 2019, with
the assistance of the remaining co-defendants.
Court documents say Crawford and his co-conspirators traveled to Sam’s Clubs
stores in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, where they would steal
various items including ink cartridges, Bose speakers, razors, DVDs, and tick
and flea medications and collars for pets.
The co-defendants often committed their crimes by emptying large boxes filled
with inexpensive paper goods and filling them with more expensive items, paying
only the cost of the boxed item and walking out of the store with the pilfered
goods.

Warsaw: Man and woman tied to Statewide Walmart thefts arrested
Two Rochester residents tied to a statewide series of thefts have been arrested
after a month long investigation at the Warsaw Walmart. The investigation began
March 28 after an Asset Protection employee contacted the Wyoming County
Sheriff’s Office. The employee reported multiple incidents in which a male and
female enters the store with fraudulent receipts, which they allegedly used to
steal merchandise and return stolen items. The stolen items added up to
$3,680.76 in value, deputies said.
Deputies identified the suspects as Rodqrick McGowan and LaShainda Baker, both
of Rochester. Deputies responded to the store on Sunday after a report that
McGowan was inside, trying to return a stolen item with a fraudulent receipt.
They took him into custody in the parking lot. A search of his rental truck
revealed a stolen trap shooter and 164 fraudulent Walmart receipts. The
vehicle also allegedly contained forgery equipment including a blank roll of
Walmart receipt paper, a paper cutter, and a copier/ printer which was
operational and powered up in the rear seat.

Chicago, IL: Reputed ‘Four Corner Hustler’ charged with thefts in Will County
A man who pleaded guilty to committing racketeering activity for the Four
Corners Hustlers gang in Chicago was charged in Will County with several
financial crimes involving Home Depot. On April 19, Dandre Spann, 44, was booked
into the Will County jail on charges of continuing a financial crimes
enterprise, burglary and retail theft. A grand jury returned an indictment that
alleged Spann committed fraud and retail theft against Home Depot stores across
the Chicago area and burglary at a Home Depot store in Bolingbrook. The
indictment alleged the thefts committed by Spann were “part of a continuing
course of conduct in different jurisdictions that have been aggregated in one
jurisdiction with at least one of the thefts being committed in Will County,
Illinois.”
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s office is prosecuting the case
against Spann. Will County Judge Dave Carlson initially set Spann’s bond at
$1 million when the indictment was filed. On April 21, Carlson lowered it to
$100,000 following a bond reduction hearing the same day. On that day, Spann’s
attorney, Tod Urban, motioned for a lower bond by arguing Spann was not a flight
risk and he was charged with a non-violent crime. Assistant Attorney General
Daniel Weiler objected to a lower bond. Weiler argued Spann committed the thefts
alleged in the indictment while on supervised release in a federal racketeering
conspiracy case involving the Four Corner Hustlers gang. On Jan. 8, 2020, Spann
was sentenced to 48 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to racketeering
conspiracy, given credit for already serving that time in custody and was then
sentenced to three years of supervised release.

Hanover County, VA: 81-year-old man dies after being found shot outside
shopping mall
A man died from a suspected gunshot wound in Hanover on Monday, but Hanover
County Sheriff’s Office says they are not looking for any suspects. Shortly
after 6:00 p.m. on May 2, deputies responded to Montpelier Shoppes on Mountain
Road after reports of an adult male lying on the ground unconscious. When
deputies arrived, they located the victim — now identified as 81-yea-old John
Slaw — lying down next to a vehicle and suffering from an apparent gunshot
wound. Lifesaving measures were attempted but were ultimately unsuccessful and
Slaw was pronounced dead at the scene. A gun was located next to his body.
Police said that investigations into the incident are ongoing and that they are
currently not seeking any suspects.

Boise, ID: Family of Boise Mall shooting victim files claim against multiple law
enforcement agencies
Family members of one of the shooting victims of the Boise Towne Square Mall
last fall filed a claim for $500,000 in damages with multiple state and local
agencies last month. On April 15, Maria de Jesus Mora Flores and her three
children, Yanet Padilla Mora, Rosalinda Padilla Mora, and an unidentified minor
filed a claim against the Idaho State Police, the Ada County Sheriff’s Office,
the Boise Police Department, the Meridian Police Department, Ada County
Prosecutor Jan Bennetts, and several other state and local entities over the
death of Roberto Arguelles in the October 25 shooting. They hope to recover the
cost of Arguelles’ funeral, the medical bills he racked up at the hospital
before he died of his injuries, expenses associated with the family’s counseling
and other treatment and the loss of his financial support to the family.
Arguelles is one of three victims of the mall shooting, including mall security
guard Jo Acker and shooter Jacob Bergquist, who was shot by a Boise Police
Officer. Four others were also injured in the attack. This claim follows an
investigation by OSHA into Professional Security Consultants LLC, the security
company responsible for patrolling Boise Towne Square Mall and Acker’s employer.
The investigation found the company “repeatedly exposed its employees” to
workplace hazards by not addressing potential risks of gun violence, a news
release from the U.S. Department of Labor said last week.

Sacramento, CA: Update: Prosecutors charge 3 with murder in mass shooting
Three alleged gang members were charged with murder Tuesday in the slaying of
three women fatally shot in a gun battle that rocked California’s capital city a
month ago. Prosecutors say the shootout that erupted before dawn on April 3 in
downtown Sacramento was a result of a feud between two rival gangs and their
allies. The Sacramento County district attorney says at least five people opened
fire. Six people were killed in the bloodshed, including three alleged gang
members who were involved in the shootout. A dozen more people were wounded —
two of whom are also alleged gang members and are now charged in the violence.

In the 1980's, it was common practice when you resigned from a company to make
copies of your files and take them with you to a certain extent. Everyone knew
about it and it was almost accepted behavior. Today, it's quite different and
much more serious. So much more information is available to virtually everyone
that, one push of a key, and certainly a well-orchestrated effort can have
dramatic consequences and can bring criminal charges. In today's world,
intellectual property is a critical asset to every organization and it's the
responsibility of every executive to safeguard and maintain their company's
intellectual property integrity. Every organization, regardless of size, can be
impacted and quite frankly most have been.
