I was a member of a Union and in my opinion it contributed to a negative work environment where management develops an adversarial role against employees and vice versa. I'd say the employees and the company are better off without one.
- pm90 4y agoIf the management wasn’t adversarial towards you they definitely were towards others in the non unionized workplace, you probably just happened to be in the blue team.
- justinzollars 4y agoThis isn't true. You don't need a mob to negotiate on an individuals behalf. Also why are unions silent about the United States policy towards exporting labor/manufacturing capacity to China and a huge influx of very low wage workers from Mexico? Both really really really hurt labor.
- pm90 4y agoUnion is not a “mob”. Whataboutism is the dumbest way to make a point.
- justinzollars 4y agoWell, then you should go for the Unionization of whatever tech company you are an employee of. And you could experience the joys for yourself.
- gtsop 4y agoI was a member of the management and in my opinion the union contributed to a positive direction for the employees, but against me and that's why I called the cops
- justinzollars 4y ago> a positive direction for the employees In what ways? Were they growing/developing themselves? I found working at a Union job everyone was just yelling at each-other all the time. It was horrible.
- electrozav 4y agoI'd say tough luck on this one because it's already adversarial - the power imbalance is too large at Amazon not to implement a union. That way the workers will have a more equal footing.
- justinzollars 4y agoHave you ever worked a Union job?
- electrozav 4y agoYes, I worked in one union job - at a different point of time in my life also a guild. They improved my quality of work dealing with exactly the kind of predatory companies we're talking about here. From what I gather from your comments, yours must have been a horrible experience (why?). It doesn't cancel the fact that these Amazon workers are being squeezed for a competitive edge in a company that's already a monopoly - in several sectors. They need to battle for fair working conditions which is exactly what a union will provide.
