This news story — just as much as anything else it might be — is a marketing campaign from the Teamsters. 500,000 new members paying $50 a month in union dues is no joke and they want a piece of that pie — or realistically the entire $100M+ pie itself. Free market capitalism is alive and well, except in this case it will be in the form of the Teamsters vs The RWDSU on who can offer the most organized power at the best price. Regardless of how you feel about unions or Amazon, there’s something fascinating going on here at so many levels.
