Distractions like discussing “freedom” or “accessibility”?
> I don't think you're allowed to use company time to organize. I don't think its unreasonable to make people work when they're on the clock and remove distractions.
Amazon will basically work them until they have no free time except sleep then, preventing any worker solidarity or social bonds to form.
> Many are used to comfortable jobs where they can post memes on slack…
I feel like you’re trying to paint tech workers as a bunch of pampered pearl clutchers who have no experience with blue collar labor, but that completely ignores the fact that the Amazon factory workers - ie not cushy tech workers - started this effort to unionize because the working conditions are that bad. This shows that actually, no, an employer who won’t let you go to the restroom or even say the word “restroom” on their “chat app” is not normal, even for blue collar workers who you seem to think have no expectations of rights at all. This is not about posting “memes on slack.”
