I don’t know why this is even controversial. American style unions are bad for business, plain and simple. And Amazon is legally required to put the interests of its investors first. Amazon is going to be doing whatever it can to discourage unionization, that’s just what’s going to happen, and I find it hard to blame them.
- grecy 6y ago> American style unions are bad for business, plain and simple They're not bad for business, they reduce profits, and they limit the ability of a company to exploit it's workers.
- ativzzz 6y ago> they reduce profits, and they limit the ability of a company to exploit it's workers. Right, so bad for business. Great for most workers though.
- grecy 6y agoI would define "bad for business" as something that reduces the core business - less sales. Reducing profits is a different thing. Business can still be booming while profits are not through the roof.
- dcre 6y agoMaybe it's controversial because it's blatantly illegal under the National Labor Relations Act. https://twitter.com/MattBruenig/status/1300856270572916736 https://twitter.com/MattBruenig/status/1300856270572916736
- refurb 6y agoGathering information on union organizing is illegal? I don’t think so. Spying, yes, but I don’t see that in the description. And your Twitter post is gone.

- refurb 6y agoWell if those allegations are true, then Amazon is gonna have some 'splainin' to do to the NLRB.
