Wonder how this will affect/be affected by the revival in labor unions over the past couple of years.
- kube-system 4y agoI suspect that with high labor demand and the fact that these jobs are shifting towards the south and west, there won’t be much push for unionization at least for a little while. Now, if the market continues to cool down, it may be a different story.
- pkaye 4y agoWith the boomers retiring there will be less workers so workers will have more leverage. Companies will also want on bring back some of the jobs from overseas due to all the supply chain risks elsewhere.
- loonster 4y agoThe big push for diversity is an anti union movement.

- brippalcharrid 4y agoYou might want to ask Whole Foods/Amazon about that: > Store-risk metrics include average store compensation, average total store sales, and a “diversity index” that represents the racial and ethnic diversity of every store. Stores at higher risk of unionizing have lower diversity and lower employee compensation, as well as higher total store sales and higher rates of workers’ compensation claims, according to the documents https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/20/21228324/amazon-whole-foods-unionization-heat-map-union https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/20/21228324/amazon-whole-foo...
- the_only_law 4y agoI’d definitely trust Amazon when it comes to this. They have no reasons to be disingenuous or deceitful.
- olddustytrail 4y agoIn other words, stores that treat the employees the worst are more likely to unionize. That's not terribly surprising.
- pessimizer 4y agoOffhand, overall union membership is at 6.5%, and manufacturing union membership is at 8.5%. It's insignificant.
