    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.

        The penalties are also so minimal that it’s cheaper to re-offend

    We’re not anti-union but we hire the actual fucking Pinkertons to stalk and intimidate you!

      Makes me wonder if we might have battles with them again. States that are anti union also have stand your ground laws.

        Why bother?

    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 to protect you.

        Umm, that wouldn’t change the truth? I guess I’m confused about what your argument is…

    “We’re not anti-union, but we’re not neutral either.”

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

    I don’t understand the media professionals who made this. How can you live with yourself?

      They’ve unionised and got fuck you money.

    Union words: living wage, grievance, contract, representation

    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…

    • STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

      source
    • danwardvs@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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"

  • HorseWithNoName@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    “Speed…and customer obsession are not typically associated with unions.” Gee, you think?

    Usually giant companies like Amazon are overly concerned with optics. So one would think that the long list of “warning signs” to look for in your coworkers’ behavior would have made someone go “hey, maybe we should make this a little less fascist before we ok it.” Jesus fucking christ.

      They couldn’t get professionals to do the video because the professionals are union members.

      source
  • forrgott@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And, again, your point?

    Amazon is afraid of unions. So, you’re saying that some workers might not agree? That doesn’t contradict the previous statement. Are you arguing in favor of Amazon’s actions? Are you criticizing employees who didn’t unionize? There doesn’t really seem to be any point to your statements.

    My apologies for sounding argumentive; my intention is simply to try to understand where you are going with this…
