Yeah, Amazon is trying to present it as extra red tape everyone will have to deal with, but it's really the union will help you get through the company's red tape. The union's red tape is more about its own power structure, which will have the usual problems that go along with any kind of power, but the union still serves to balance the employer's power.

Exactly. Also, if you ever hear saying "you won't have a say, the union speaks FOR you" (yes I've seen this framing before) you can always respond that you ARE the union! That's the entire point is that everyone in the union IS the union, it's right there in the word.
