Amazon fired him – now he’s trying to unionize 5k workers in New York
- LatteLazy 5y agoI find these pieces quite frustrating. I imagine amazon's workers want more money. They want shorter shifts and more holiday. Maybe better healthcare (as they already get healthcare). Why not start there if you're selling a union to them? Instead the pitch is "well get more people hired who aren't like you (old or minorities)". That's laudable, but it's a much harder sell than "$$$". I'm 36 now so it has admittedly been 15 years since I worked for minimum wage. Maybe people these days really do care more about working in a racially diverse environment than money. But it didn't seem to be the case last time...
