If your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't work so hard to suppress it.

If unions were not a threat to the company, executives wouldn't work so hard to dismantle them.

Amazon and Bezos autocratic rule is the perfect reason why workers need to protect their rights.

It's not that long ago that i met a man i genuinely believe to be sociopath. He kept defending Jeff Bezos and saying that since it was his company he could treat his employees any way he wanted. If they didn't like it, they should just quit.

When i tried to talk to him about the moral thing to do, he literally laughed in my face and said that morality was meaningless in business. Because how was that gonna earn money?

I was so disgusted with him, i just had to leave the conversation.

Those beverage containers given to employees will come in handy as makeshift toilets!

Time ago we decided to stop buying in Amazon, now we are back to local options and very proud of support my community!

That was almost as fun to watch as they must have had while making it.

Comparing Jeff Bezos to Lex Luther feels like an insult to Lex Luther at this point. I mean, yeah Lex Luther might be a supervillain, but is he really at Bezos's level of over the top comical evilness? I don't think so :)

Good luck getting him to authorize a paid ayahuasca vomit break.

Unions are obviously better in most regards

Do not forget they censor words from the workers’ group employee app

[whocares.]

Amazon is truly horrendous. I never buy from them.

[bthsr]

Unionize.
They can get corrupt, but the union exists to give you a collective voice to protect you.
That is their primary function.

And they want more built/guilt is in America. Then pay and create unions to safeguard employees and products. The billions are there. They just don't want to pay.

[Grimlock]

If you treat your employees like shit, what do you expect?

[elram]

Isn't Jeff Bezos starting to look like the 90s Heaven's Gate cult leader? 🤔

1:11 "I want to work a 14-hour shift". That gave me goosebump.

[maxgarascia]

Workers unite ! United we prosper divided we beg . Power in solidarity. MAGA for real and unionize labor . Shame the billionaires. Shame on the billionaires .

[lizardguyNA]

Republicans simply don't understand that to be for the people, you must listen to the people.

Whole Foods let me go while I was sick but an exit interview email was used to let me know of my termination, sounds fair.

[lazyperfectionist]

Oh, sure. What reason could anyone _possibly_ have to form a union except the promise of _marijuana?_ Higher wages and stronger benefits couldn't _possibly_ be enticing, never mind that they might use those higher wages to _buy_ marijuana. 🤷
