Are you referring to DRIVE? That’s voluntary.

My cousin works for them in KY. I know she wishes they would organize, but that's a RTW state now, so it's more of an uphill climb. But I'm blown away at Amazon's ability to close down buildings and open up new ones as frequently as they do. Meanwhile, many of us work in buildings that quite literally falling apart.

We are cutting our own throats with retail centralization.

Could you still post this if Hoffa was in office?

Hoffa was always a non factor, it was always about keeping the status quo in power by all means possible and dumbing down the rank and file. Our Union leadership had to goose step or else, C S Lewis described them best…”Men without Chests”.

Huge union loss. Wasn't even close.

They're automating the hell out of the warehouse jobs. Don't see it as growth area; rather, it seems like a function that's slowly disappearing.

A loss for a union of none.
Admirable as their intentions may have been, they should have organized under the Teamster flag.
A grassroots movement has a near zero chance of ever securing a contract with a company like Amazon.

Very doubtful. That was an inexperienced startup union that didn’t know what they were doing and got rolled by the company.

And the workers were not too sure about a small startup union actually having their backs and having any actual clout dealing with Amazon. They were afraid of losing their jobs.

- Amazon just closed the only unionized facility in Canada.
- Amazon has been firing people for supporting the union.
- Amazon has endless resources to push anti union propaganda.
- The Staten Island location that organized with the Teamsters in 2022 still doesn't have a contract.

Morons was too harsh of a word actually, some people don’t want to work in a union and that’s their right. Some people really close to me are not pro union and have great jobs
I just meant because it seems like I’m constantly hearing from Amazon workers complaining about their working conditions or not getting paid enough, and it seems like with automation going on now a union would be more valuable than ever at Amazon to protect the workers while they still have a job

Are those people "close to you" anti-union, and if so, why can't they be as understanding as you seem to be?
....or do you snap back at their anti-union rhetoric?
