Decisions like this reinforce the need for collective bargaining - unions. While the rhetoric here is all about free enterprise and self-help, people working at places like this have little to no leverage in the terms of their employment. The only thing they can do is quit.
Just plain sad. Won’t stop me from ordering more stuff from Amazon.
How exactly are unions supposed to overturn the Supreme Court?
Got news for you, the unions won’t do anything about it either.
I worked for UPS in the 1990s and was briefly in the Teamsters’ union. (Yes, I was young and stupid.) When employees report to work at a hub or other sorting facility, they get a cursory bag check and have to walk through a metal detector going in. They also have to have a more thorough bag check and again have to walk through a metal detector on the way out. There was often a line on the exit side.
The time clock was inside the building, well away from the security checkpoint. You did not get paid for the time at the security checkpoint either way. The union did not care and that was never a point of contention for them.
This is status quo for most of the distribution/shipping industry now and has been for decades.
