Amazon is intimidating and harassing organizing workers in Montreal
It's a testament to how effective propaganda can be when you see how easily you can get people to vote against their own interests.<p>It's crazy to me that <i>anyone</i> who works in these Amazon warehouses votes agains tunionization but they do [1]. Even in the successful vote, there were still a lot of "no" votes.<p>Unionization in the US is the lowest of all OECD nations (~10%) [2]. Is it any wonder US workers don't get paid maternity leave, often don't get health insurance and get 2 weeks vacation?<p>This is why wedge issues matter. They sow discord to prevent class solidarity. You know who actually does have class solidarity? Billionaires. And the politicans they own.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/02/amazon-union-vote/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/02/amazon-...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=TUD" rel="nofollow">https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=TUD</a>
