Absolutely, Amazon famously push anti-union propaganda in their workplace (just talk with anyone working either at corporate or at the shipping centers) and move centers just to avoid union-heavy regions.
Also worth noting, blamazon (parent commentator) seems to work for Amazon (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25758868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25758868), or at least previously worked for them so probably sitting on a bunch of AMZN stock, but they never disclosed that, so might want to take their positive views of Amazon with a bit of salt.

My comment above deserves an asterisk in this regard, it occurred to me but I figured repliers would suredly provide worthy counterexamples that I could just upvote, which was intellectually lazy of me and I do apologize. To future readers, consider this reply chain the asterisk I guess.

- blamazon 4y agoAs a tangent that I found intriguing, here's some pro-union propaganda from the 40s in the USA: https://dlg.usg.edu/record/gsu_mhross_8075?canvas=3&x=628&y=1041&w=2342 https://dlg.usg.edu/record/gsu_mhross_8075?canvas=3&x=628&y=... Interesting to see the Unions vs. Communism messaging.
