every company says poo poo like that it would require the union agreeing to that in a contract it would never happen in an absolute worst case, Amazon could demand to the end through any job actions, etc. that they would no longer provide anything beyond the minimum health insurance required by law, and the u ion would never agree to it and there would never be a contract, but status quo rules would prevent them from actually changing anything

even with a union in place, Amazon still has to hire and retain workers, and that healthcare is a big way they do it the public relations fallout would be massive as well they would never get of it. it’s posturing and pure power politics

it’s good they got some improvement but I wouldn’t be thrilled I don’t work there though, so who knows — contract negotiations are so much harder than anyone on the outside ever knows; getting anything is always a win. it’s a poo poo thing, but the way it is, for now

It’ll be tough to have the bankroll to fight Amazon’s union busting but if it works that’s incredible https://text.npr.org/1048956134 i don't know about their success, but chris smalls is the ultimate guy with a vendetta after being fired ...it's also been interesting to watch the labor media's interaction with him and their organizers. it's basically non-existent, and it feels like people don't want to engage with him

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:there’s absolutely a concerted effort by capital to defy labor even when it makes no economic sense to do so, because they’re afraid of ceding any power at all. the local made union healthcare exactly cost neutral to the museum, offering to pay more of the premiums than they normally would the museum still refused, because it meant everyone (other employees, other institutions, the public, everyone) knowing that the union was giving their employees a better deal their attorney was telling them that if they could keep health insurance out of the contract, they could hold on hope of breaking the union someday, but that if union employees got union healthcare, there would be no getting rid of the union it was a material improvement to peoples’ lives, cost neutral to the museum, and would have meant people were healthier and more able to work, and they still fought us on union health insurance they lost of course

organizing will destroy your personal life, and that’s just as one of the main people on an OC/bargaining committee doing that over and over again??? I have a lot of respect for the organizers at my local, and especially the one we worked with. it’s brutal
