And why would consumers coordinate against a company that is benefiting them with lower prices, great customer service, and insanely fast shipping now (I live in a small town of 40,000 - 3 hours from any major metropolis and get 1 day shipping)? Honestly I'm pretty impressed how such a massive company still seems to do a majority of their customers good, without even making them pay more. I'd say most of the people I know who use amazon are pretty happy with the service they are getting. To the average consumer whose looking out for their own personal bottom line, whats the benefit of coordinating against them?
- acover 7y agoThere wouldn't be! However, if your assumptions that consumers are all happy with amazon are incorrect and there are things they would like changed at amazon then there would be an advantage to collective bargaining to combat amazon's monopoly power. Also, such collective bargaining could be used to bargain with companies other than amazon.
- kevinsundar 7y agoFair point. I'm not saying that all consumers are happy. But for collective bargaining to work you pretty much have to be the majority or its hard to do much.
