Amazon calls cops, fires workers in attempts to stop unionization nationwide
A couple of karma burning facts:<p>- Amazon has better wages and conditions than the industry average. Warehouse work is tough in general, Amazon isn&#x27;t making it particularly hard and pays relatively well.<p>- Unions aren&#x27;t universally good. The reason we got to &quot;defund police&quot; is because cops are practically unfireable due to a strong union; and unions were at least part of the reason why GM lost so hard in front of Toyota and other competition.<p>In general, societies create wealth through freer markets, then vote to spend that wealth on social policies and income redistribution. Which is perfectly fine, btw. However, this gives a framework for answering the question of timing: do you want more social policies now? If you think it&#x27;s a good time, then yes, unions are one way forward. If you think the economic&#x2F;geopolitic situation is still fragile, you may want to vote for more slack in the system.
