Amazon workers speak out at town hall organized by Bernie: Without workers, there would be no Amazon, who spent $4M on union-busting in Staten Island!

President Biden is right. "Amazon, here we come." Let's get every Amazon worker in a union

disclaimer: i buy audiobooks from amazon, good service lol

Why do Crazy Bernie and Sleepy Joe think that all Amazon workers are interested in paying tribute to labor bosses?

These folks aren't stupid, money being skimmed from the payroll by the business agents isn't going to make them better off at all.

Although it will probably be good for those who work as cocktail waitresses at the local Italian club and local strip joint where the business agents are hanging out.

America has state and federal labor laws already. Amazon workers don't need a union, they need to accept the fact if you work in a warehouse then you work in a warehouse and it's not always going to be fun and games. If they don't like it they can quit, someone else tougher than them will do the job.

Unions only exist to make money. They sell themselves into a business by tricking employees into thinking how awesome everything will be. But then all it means is employees now have 2 sets of rules to follow and that they now have to pay union dues out of their own pocket to the union.

Then you have all the people who didn't want the union, they are fucked because they don't have a choice. They have to pay for the union and follow it's rules or they get their hours cut to the point they leave because unions are ruthless once they get in. They only exist to serve themselves, they don't actually care about the employees. Even when unions push for more money from employees it's only so they can get more money from them in the form of dues.

Most of them do accept the fact.

The only problem in the past couple of years is that Amazon has been doing a lot of hiring because of the plandemic, and Big Labor has been able to get a lot of Fake Employees gigs at Amazon warehouses to try and indoctrinate the employees as to how tremendous it is to kick up part of your pay to the union bosses.

Once the place is under union contract, the fake employees will quit and take jobs as business agents and spend their days chumming around in the Italian club or a local strip joint while figuring out how to shake down the company and employees for more money.

Amazon is a huge place with hundreds of thousands of employees, there is a lot of money in dues, initiation fees, assessments and cope donations available.
