Efforts to unionize Amazon.com warehouse workers in Alabama were defeated on Friday by a more than 2-to-1 margin in a major win for the online retailer, but the union trying to organize workers was set to challenge the results, assailing the company's methods.
I wonder if there’s something I’m missing, I would have though (as an outsider) that opting for unionization would have been ideal in the long run for the workers (even if some didnt benefit the same way in the short run).
If anyone knows more or has a link please share, I’d like to learn more.
Here’s a general theoretical overview: https://organizing.work/2021/04/who-lives-who-dies-who-tells-your-story/
And here’s a technical look: https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/bessemer-alabama-amazon-union/
Those were really good reads, I see some similarities to when my workplace was starting their anti-Union talk in the listed examples - thank you for the links!
