A giant, multinational, multi-trillion-dollar corporation that will only bargain with individual people living paycheck-to-paycheck? Huh, what a weird power imbalance!

Surely it doesn't have anything to do with their documented history of treating their blue-collar workforce like utter garbage.

I think Amazon are largely shitheads to their low level workers (and still assholes even to mid-level workers), and I am in no way defending them. I'm in fact sickened by them. I will never work for Amazon.

But the implication above was that the non-union employee is the "sub-human" option. I find that attitude pretty gross too. Humans are human whether they are union members or not.

    Ok, fine, but the OP never said this, you are the only person talking about this.

  • The “implication” is that Amazon finds them ALL sub-human and thus would hire to reduce any kind of representation or organizational power.

    Work on your reading comprehension dude.
