bezos + amazon are trying to stop a union from forming at a facility in alabama

i wonder what lengths bezos will go to to stop a union. he's pretty politically connected. maybe there are favors he will call in.

hope those workers have a norma rae-sized backbone.

I’d just shut down the entire warehouse if they vote yes to a union. That’s if I were the company and thus against unionization.

They won't get a union, people in the South are the biggest doormats there are. That's why these companies all come south in the first place, for all the uneducated deplorables and beat down blacks.
