but in a union advancement is often based on straight seniority, and I'm a Good Worker so that'll stifle my obvious career trajectory!!!
this isn't a tough thing to deal with in conversations

"in a union, even if you don't get a promotion, you'll be assured wage increases" combined with "not everyone can get a promotion, there aren't enough positions, but everyone can get raises"

And all the scabs amazon got put on the voter rolls would never be eligible for any of the benefits in any CBA besides the payrate. I've never seen a CBA that gives bennies to anyone that isn't full/part time.

So it was destined for failure because 4000 of the 6500 voters were intentionally bad faith actors who were voting on solely on the issue of whether or not they want to lose their hours to the new union members.

I'm sorry, but I'm Very Good and if I work hard enough, the company will recognize that and promote me with even bigger raises. Unions don't let companies recognize performance or cut failures. Don't you believe in meritocracy???

American workers have to be the dumbest set of workers on the planet. They all constantly think it's better to negotiate for themselves instead of using the power of the entire workforce to make things better for everyone.

Corporations are people, it's unfair to them when the workforce (multiple persons) bargains with the corporation (one person)

my raise last year was 2.99%, but like it doesnt matter anyway cuz most of its based on a convoluted rear end quality/performance metrics score for the organization and thats weighted with your personal goals or some bullshit?

so like, in the end it doesnt matter what i do it feels like
