I think you need to consider it within the whole context. There's evidence of Amazon doing many other similar things to restrict unionizing, as the nrlb found.

I think you need to consider it within the whole context. There's evidence of Amazon doing many other similar things to restrict unionizing, as the nrlb found. Given all that, I don't think it's reasonable to give them the benefit of the doubt in this sort of situation.
- Ansil849 5y agoI get it, which is why I said I definitely wouldn't put it past Amazon to do something like that. But I also think that this kind of talk can actively hurt organizing efforts. If I were someone on the fence about unionizing, and someone told me "you know Amazon changed the stoplight to prevent us from being able to talk to you", and I were to then look into it and find that while Amazon did change the stoplight speed, there's no evidence that they did it specifically to mess with organizing efforts, then I'd be pretty annoyed and write off the organizer as being full of shit. We need to stick to verifiable acts of union busting, especially because as you said, there are plenty of them to choose from, without rattling off speculation that can't be substantiated as if it were fact.
