The teamsters just want their dues, they see Amazon as a big fat cash cow waiting to be milked. They’re not even going the vote route and now just flat out threatening Amazon “force your employees to pay our dues or something may start happening to your deliveries”.
- pydry 5y agoWhereas Amazon you think has a grander purpose beyond milking profits out of a monopoly?
- Aperocky 5y agoAmazon is a for profit company, that makes having no other grander purpose way less hypothetical.
- pydry 5y agoThey claim to be customer obsessed but they're seemingly happy to be the conduit for overpriced fake garbage if it gins their next quarter results. They will use their size and wealth to destroy competition like diapers.com and carve our a monopoly, presumably so they can sell worse quality crap at a higher price. Why is it scandalous if Teamsters have a "dues motive" that mirrors (probably not even as strongly) Amazon's "profit motive" if this is the stream of wealth they're tapping? Are unions only moral if run by ascetic monks?
- Aperocky 5y ago> overpriced fake garbage if it gins their next quarter results. It has been quite a number of next quarters and if it is really hot garbage wouldn't people ditch Amazon? Amazon is not exactly a new entrant to the market. > They will use their size and wealth to destroy competition like diapers.com and carve our a monopoly, presumably so they can sell worse quality crap at a higher price. You can't have a monopoly on diapers. If diapers.com fold it would be because people don't want to know 300 websites to buy individual goods than it is Amazon. Oh, and maybe they're more expensive, not less.
