A good object lesson in what happens if you unionize.
Edit: Ooh, downvotes. Hi Amazon
- themoat 8y agoI missed this story from earlier. Did they actually unionize? Or were they in the early stages of unionizing?
- brianbreslin 8y agoearly stages of it. This was one of their key demands.
- SolaceQuantum 8y agoThere were unionization efforts nationwide, including a somewhat wide dissemination of boycotting on the "Prime Day" sale and appropriate lists of demands including proper access to restrooms and raising of the wages.
- crdoconnor 8y agoThey haven't achieved recognition yet but they're still winning. The Europeans (for whom there was also a pay rise) are further along and went on strike on prime day.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoI don't know if that's still the case; I've seen instances where e.g. voice actors were replaced by non-unionized competitors. If the jobs shortage is big enough, people will allow themselves to get fucked over by not joining the unions and agreeing to working below the rate unionized employees have all fought for. Because any pay is better than no pay. Right?
