Today 4,000 Amazon workers at a North Carolina warehouse will finish voting on a union. Employees say the company “mobilized an army” ahead of the election, siccing local police on organizers and trying to pit black and Hispanic workers against each other.
“Under the National Labor Relations Act, I should have been allowed to flyer on the premises,” said Orin Starn, who had worked at Amazon for six months. “But the police, who in the small town of Garner where Amazon is the biggest employer act as a kind of private security force, didn’t care and just took us off to jail.”
We are a healthy democracy. We love our country. God bless Amazon, God bless Citi Group, God bless Carls Jr.
Anybody who thinks they are immune to propaganda should look at the outcome of these votes and remind themselves that It's actually pretty easy to convince you to vote against your own best interest.
According to the other article posted in another response, it's as easy as sending an army of policemen to beat up the workers because the company owns the city.
I expect nothing from my state but still end up disappointed
Well yeah they don't want to lose their jobs like everyone in the Quebec warehouse. If Canada doesn't hold Amazon liable for union busting bs, I would not expect the US to be any better
I believe Quebec is suing them and the government has cancelled and banned the used of all Amazon services
Sooner or later they're gonna run out of feet to shoot themselves in
🤦♂️
