probably, but even if it wasnt it would have still probably lost because Amazon seems to get a lot of credit for at least paying their employees $15 an hour and above

I don't know how much I'd have to get paid to piss in bottles though

I know you know how to do this.
Get up.


the RWDSU will file a claim at the NLRB alleging an unfair labor practice, this will last months, they might even get another vote

the worst thing amazon could do is start firing people there, it's not even in their interest (right now)

This is why the other system of union voting is better.

apparently this warehouse is a key part of their distribution so they probably won't close it, but they will definitely :commissar: anyone who might have even been remotely sympathetic to the union drive, and then plenty who weren't just to prove a point

Everything they brew is so, so good, and yes I agree.

Some bars in Austin sometimes get Scrimshaw kegs and that's seriously my favorite American lager, it's simply perfect.

They coincidentally expanded the workforce there like 300% once the union drive started up, i'm sure just as coincidentally they'll need to reduce the workforce now it's done.

All i can think of for the Amazon union vote is "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. Almost the entire second verse is perfect except that the line "cold comfort for change" should be reversed.

I had an ad supported kindle and they don't show ads when you're actually reading but they do make the kindle slow down when you're on a screen with an ad. It takes longer for the screen to respond and they make you swipe to dismiss ads when you wake up the kindle

"A walk on part in a war, for a lead role in a cage" seems more appropriate IMHO

Why does an ebook/ereader need to have ads anyway? They don't loving put ads in the middle of printed book. The device is entitely paid for by you and then you buy or rent the digital rights for the book. So why are ads getting forced on you?
