If conscientious people leave Amazon it will result in Amazon being less conscientious, but it will probably not result in Amazon being any less powerful or dominant.
I also think Amazon a right to expect its employees to abide by its rules. Individuals have a right to organize and to protest, even when they're supposed to be at work, but companies have a right to want to discontinue their business relationship, that is fire, their employees, especially if they're not working when they're supposed to.
Ultimately the employees made the mistake of organizing and being loud before they had the critical mass to have the leverage needed, and they outed their organization leadership.
- behringer 6y agoAFAIK in the US it's illegal to fire somebody due to union organizing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_busting#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_busting#United_States Therefore, the employees made no mistake if Amazon breaks the law by firing unionizing employees.
- rosywoozlechan 6y agoI am not convinced that the protests were attempts to unionize or that the law is clear that on if these firings at Amazon were illegal.
