I've never been pro-union, nor anti-union for that matter: I'm just indifferent as I find them to have many pros and cons that ultimately cancel each other out.
My limited time with those who were unionized made me see the perils and entitlement that come with certain trades (electricians specifically) and their reluctance to cross train non-union, or their outward antipathy towards anyone who hasn't paid dues to their union has put a damper on my outlook.
But given Amazon's influence in the Labor market post-covid, and their lobbying efforts and their ever growing market share in addition to their inhumane actions towards labor, I think it's imperative that Amazon be unionized in the US and AWS be broken up into many companies. Amazon has just too large for it not get away with this behaviour. Anti-trust laws are on the books for a reason, and Microsoft had to reigned in on as well.
Just look at this:
