They had a perfectly wonderful opportunity to organize a union and they blew it.
If there is a problem with working conditions that are dangerous, under President Biden, call OSHA and file a complaint.
If there is death and disease at Amazon, then call the local Board of Health.
If the Amazon employees are unhappy being paid as slave labor then complain to their congresspersons.
BUT, DON'T GO TO THE MEDIA AND EXPECT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!!
Last September, (click here) Ann Castillo saw an email from Amazon that made no sense. Her husband had worked for the company for five years, most recently at the supersize warehouse on Staten Island that served as the retailer’s critical pipeline to New York City. Now it wanted him back on the night shift.
“We notified your manager and H.R. about your return to work on Oct. 1, 2020,” the message said.
Ms. Castillo was incredulous. While working mandatory overtime in the spring, her 42-year-old husband, Alberto, had been among the first wave of employees at the site to test positive for the coronavirus. Ravaged by fevers and infections, he suffered extensive brain damage. On tests of responsiveness, Ms. Castillo said, “his score was almost nothing.”...
Grow UP!!!
The management at Amazon now has the right to instill fear for their lives into every employee.
The working conditions with the coronavirus were horrendous. There were people like Mr. Castillo that plowed into the unknown future of his job and worked and fell ill.
NONE of this would be happening if the employees were unionized.
JUST THAT SIMPLE!
Ya have to bite the bullet, pay your dues and reep the benefits.
