Corpo fucks will use MLK's speeches to sell fucking pickup trucks. There's no low too low.

I think that's actually a person holding a letter or ballot, but yeah, this imagery is sick (bad kind of sick)

it's afraid!

Unions are like condoms. If they say you don't need one, you really need one.

They do. had a friend that could only handle working in an Amazon warehouse for a few months

It's bad

A union is a new concept for most marginal workers. This means that for them to make the leap, they've got to overcome their uncertainty. If a company can cast even a little doubt, it can be tremendously effective.

The traditional way to overcome this is to have coworkers be the ones advocating for a union, not staff. This is really hard at Amazon because of the high turnover. If you look at JFK8, Smalls was a manager, i.e., one of the only people not turning over every 3 months.

high turnover rate is actually good for the capitalists. It means a large reserve army of labor. it means a fresh supply of scabs. it means people will quit ''before'' they even ''try'' to unionize because they've been taught that's what you do when a job sucks, you quit and get a new one that also sucks, and so on to infinity. Quitting will ''always'' be easier than unionizing, and people only unionize when they think "this is my job, I'm going to be here for a long time." Unions were strongest when people worked in the same company their whole lives. The more mobile and nomadic the work force, the easier capital is able to dissuade unionization efforts.

That's not reverse psychology, it's projection

It's a threat.

"We have no intention of ever negotiating. Don't even bother trying to unionize."

Boomers? Probably, but I doubt anyone under the age of 45 is going to be as blindly trusting of corporate as a boomer.

"No guarantee on pay" is a threat. Workers know who benefits from a union and who loses, Amazon is just threatening to cut pay and benefits if they organize.
