When I was a union rep there would be people that would bitch about the $70 bucks a month or whatever the dues were. I would explain that without the union their pay would be far, far less (not even bringing up the benefits of work hours, vacation days and whatnot). Like the "all taxes are theft" morons, the words often fell on deaf and willfully ignorant ears.

I hate paying 10 dollars to get 25 dollars. The worst.

Even if it wasn't a bot, why is she mad at unions when she's barely scraping by? Unions would help her with that

You'll get a lot more salary with Unions...

This should be illegal to the point that whoever is responsible for this tweet should be jailed for st least 5 years.

This person may be a higher up at Amazon, knowing that unions will diminish her bonuses (salary) because the workers underneath her are making more and no quotas are being met.

This is no excuse though

could have been real because of some "ambassador" scheme they had where they'd hook a select few warehouse workers with social media handles to spread the propaganda

which only makes it more creepy if you ask me.

Also a lie in lots of places.

Does she know it's (usually) voluntary?

That's such a laughably bad "unions bad" take. If there was such a thing as a kind of insurance where they fight to keep you employed, people would probably sign up and pay the fees.

The anti-union Americans have a vacuum between their ears and enjoy 3rd World working conditions. F-them.

You earn more when a union fight for higher wages, union dues are negligible

I've always wondered, what prevents creating a corporation to hire every worker possible, makes them proportional owners, and then negotiates wages and benefits on their behalf?

One enormous corporation that has all of the benefits of a union.

at my job, you are covered by the union whether you pay dues or not

that’s why education in the topic matters. So the roomtemp mf have the info before the business gets to feed them desinfo (or before they try to think for themselves and come to wrong conclusions)

Unless you live in a "Right to Work" state, then you get to benefit from the work of unions without contributing any money to their efforts, much like a leech benefits from the blood production of the animal it attaches itself to.

Right to work! Right to work!

I mean, they'll probably get you more than your dues cost, by a lot... So, there's that...

What bothers me most about unions is the increased bargaining power labour gets when they work together. As a manager, my employer expects me to use every trick possible to pay those actually making the company run as little as possible and unions make it much harder to get my bonuses.

But I use one neat trick and pay the employees the money that then gets directed to running the union as a deduction from their paycheck and many of them don't even notice that the difference in overall take-home because of that increased bargaining power is higher than the union dues. They focus on the nickels and dimes and don't even notice the dollars!

And the fact that I need to meet certain criteria before I can fire them due to the union contact doesn't even show up on the paycheck--they often don't even think about it until it's too late!

I thought Lonnie was gonna get rid of the bots.
