I am of the firm belief that Unions are a thing that are extremely good in theory, but rarely work out in practice. They kill innovation, profits and skills and turns a competitive workforce into a mediocre one. :-(
- enraged_camel 6y agoInnovation and profits aren’t the only things that matter in life. Unions are the result of the same movement that gave us things like 40-hour workweeks and two day weekends.
- AdrianB1 6y agoThis is cargo cult logic.
- wickedsickeune 6y agoThey kill innovation in worker exploitation :( > turns a competitive workforce into a mediocre one Because the people employed in Amazon warehouses will stop self improving and being competitive, but only if they join a union.
- aidenn0 6y agoAt a minimum, the credible threat of unionization is necessary to protect worker's rights. Amazon treated employees in a way that made it clear that they did not see the threat as credible. If Amazon gets destroyed by unionization, maybe the next company will treat their employees better.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI agree. But it turns out that the absence of unions doesn't work out in practice, either...
