Union not workers.
Just as well. We have to reassess our social contract. Amazon is going through it but it’s not social.
Labor unions will be the NUMBER ONE problem if Trump tries to bring production home, just as they were before management got fed up with them in the 1990s and sent everything abroad.
The union called for a strike as a form of extortion.
Amazon will lose lots of customers now they will NEVER get back.
Idiots in both labor AND management.
This is a disruption that cannot quickly be reversed.
How much less could anyone give a damn?
Teamsters
I could care less, but only if I were dead.
Just got a notice this morning that two of my deliveries (Christmas gifts) - that were scheduled to be delivered yesterday have now been delayed.
Anyone know if all Amazon locations are union or only those on strike?
I think all our stuff is in already. No effect here.
Unions are not the problem, union infiltration by communists is the problem. The left has perverted government, education, media and corporate boards. They must be ripped out by the root.
The one person that I ordered for (drew his name out of a hat) is going go get a picture of his gift and a promise that he’ll see it someday.
Actually it is from Walmart so strike probably doesn’t affect it but it said delivery by Dec. 26 when I ordered.
I don’t care for unions, but if shoppers are waiting until the last few days to shop, then that is their problem.
Teamsters boss Sean O’Brien has told customers to ‘blame Amazon’s insatiable greed’ if their deliveries are ‘delayed during the holidays’.
Obviously.
“Unions are not the problem, union infiltration by communists is the problem.”
Don’t agree - the concept of an entity independent of management organizing workers is EXACTLY the problem, at least in the US as workers will ALWAYS be drawn to union leadership candidates who hate the ‘guys who wear ties’.
To fix that, you need an entire revamp of society to make to make American culture much more like Japan, where you always get great service from workers and there is NEVER tipping, for example.
Teamsters are scum IMHO.
“The union called for a strike as a form of extortion.”
There is no union. The only people being hurt by this are the families of the drivers who thought it was a good idea to listen to a bunch of thugs trying to extort Amazon. Do I give a squat if my Christmas present comes a day or two late?
I’m just waiting for the LSM to declare that this is Trump’s fault and children will be devastated by not being able to open gifts on Christmas morning. Of course this coming from leftist commentators who think Christmas is some sort of satanic holiday.
