    Shit like this should be illegal and should allow company to be seized.

      It is illegal, but the US is completely toothless with enforcement on anyone with any amount of wealth.

        Thankfully, Biden recently gave the IRS some teeth to go after millionaires who rely on tax dodging. So there’s hope as long as a criminal isn’t put in charge to de-teeth the government again.

    Just goes to show you that unions work, otherwise they would not be so scared of it.

      You might not interpret the motive as based on fear, if you think your employer loves you wants to make you happy and feel protected.

            Are you trying to say that these videos work because most people do not know the truth?

            If that’s your point then I agree. But it sounds kinda like you’re implying that everyone already knows unions are good and for that reason we should stop saying that they are. Which is patently false.

              Someone who relates to employers as though they were benevolent would reach a different conclusion from you about the motive for the presentation.

              I think there is no great complexity beneath the observation.

                Someone who relates to employers as though they were benevolent would be incorrect in the case against unions though? Unions have shown to be nearly universally beneficial to the workers that participate in them. That is not my opinion. That is verifiable fact.

                If a company was strictly benevolent as you’ve claimed then why contest the union? Why negotiate terms at all? Just hear what the employees en mass want and sign your name on the dotted line. The fact that this does not happen, and we constantly see company’s hire law firms to bust the unions or otherwise drag their feet to apply changes to company structure upon reaching a compromise is objectively evidence that the company is not benevolent.

                If unions didn’t work then there would not be unions.

                  Just so you know, some people really do hold beliefs that are incorrect.

    Well Amazon, you’re not pro-union, so what exactly are you? ‘Cause that pretty much covers the full spectrum.

    Holy shit is this badly done. Starting with no answers whatsoever, why unions are regarded as bad except for “but our customers and partners!” and then a huge load of infodump about potential signs…

      Explaining why they think unions are bad requires them explaining what a union even is.

      Not partners, but shareholders. It doesn’t beat around the bush. It outright says “unions are not in the best interest for shareholders”

      I was thinking about this the other day and while I’m sure they would never admit it, I think the reason Amazon is so anti-union is to prepare for automation.

      Whenever they can reliably replace all the low-income employees with robots, they will do so. If employees had a union they might be able to stop or slow the replacement of people with robots.

    We aren’t against unions or organising, but anyone seen doing so is to be immediately reported to their manager’s manager’s manager so they can be fired immediately kindly defend their right to a direct relationship with the “associate”
