  1.  @purpledevilr7463  I don’t like unions. They take away a employees personal responsibility and instead treat workers as a collective. It has lead to a workforce that has very little incentive to work harder at their job. Amazon offers me a great service, a online store with fast delivery at low prices. They have championed efficiency, utilising robots and people, along with some of the greatest logistics, to make the process as efficient as possible. It’s a hallmark of capitalism’s growth, and for it to be impeded by an entity that has little regard for the company nor the consumers that use it is detriment to our economy.

  3. At the end of the day, if you don’t like the job - leave. No one is keeping you there. Use the free market to its full potential- don’t be an idiot who sits in the sand job for 30 years and complained that nothing has changed.

  4.  @purpledevilr7463  what do you mean it doesn’t collectivise them? The word union comes from unite - to be as one. They will negotiate wages for everyone, you don’t get the final say. What negative actions? Paying their workers above minimum wage? Because Amazon has committed to paying everyone a minimum of $15 an hour. Amazon pays well above minimum wage. In fact, for a low skilled job it pays extraordinarily high. If you don’t like how they operate, that’s fine - go to the free market. After all this pandemic crap there will be more jobs.

  5. They literally sit there moving goods from a shelf to a robot, for $15 an hour.

  9. Unions are a massive issue in our economy. They push the responsibility away from the individual and treat everyone as a collective - hurting hard workers, killing efficiency and forcing companies to raise prices.

  13. Arthur Morgan no, the free market does. If a worker isn’t happy, they can leave for another job - or to make their own business.

  14. Arthur Morgan how is it exploitative? The person built a company and hired labour. The person agreed to the contract.

  15. Without unions, and instead we used legislation to protect workers we would be able to have a working environment that pushes for hard work and rewards those with pay raises.

  16. First off, no amazon cannot afford to give all of that. Amazon pays all of its workers rally well for what is a low skilled low effort job.
