    Oregon Ducks always lost the big ones too. Coincidence?

    Probably came down to money. No guarantee of additional pay and a guarantee of monthly union dues. Any strike would not result in Amazon caving on one center and just encouraging other union efforts with a success story. So, go on strike and no pay. Why would you vote for the union based on that premise. My last year in the International Brotherhood of Chemical workers they voted for strike in late August of 1978. Union dudes were laughing and saying it would be nice to have a few weeks off in the summer and then settle for a nice raise. They were out until March of 1979 and settled for an additional five cents an hour. Not a great Christmas for those idiots.

    I'm involved in forming a union and my dad was 20 years ago in Suckattle. You're going to get resistance from any private company and it can get dirty. With pub(l)ic entitities and government, less so, but it's still there. Also, vast majority of Dimocrats are corrupt as fuck and don't lift a finger unless you suck them off and give them a lot of favors. Fuck Raul Grijalva!

    So you're saying the mostly minority workers in Alabama are too stupid to know what's best for them. Figures.

    I used to be a regular on the team that was trying to negotiate with employees to NOT unionize. We were fortunate because we treated everyone from the plant floor on up the same way. We also had great Christmas parties, 401K contributions, great healthcare package paid for 100% by the company, etc. Every year a few idiots brought up the union and we would explain how all the goodies went away and had to be earned if they voted to unionize and poof, the threat was gone. If you are a shitty company that treats employees poorly, you deserve a union.

    I worked at Amazon and there was a Union push in the early days. The fact is that people would rather have the Amazon benefits, stock, etc. Although it's not told in the media, the Amazon employees have a lot of say and influence on how work can be done and I don't think they want to lose that power with having a union as the middle man.

    Looks like Amazon handled it fine

    I think we need to let some lefties that don’t work for Amazon weigh in.

    I know a lot of Alabamans. They don't like unions and don't think they're necessary.

    They also seem to like going to church and fucking their incredibly hot Christian wives.

    A lot of the South has it going on.

    8 of the 10 poorest states in America are in the south. Including Alabama. The only thing they have “going on” is poverty.

    You have clearly never been to the South. Your ignorance knows no bounds.

    California accounts for 12% of the population. It also accounts for 30% of the entire nations welfare cases.

    Before spouting your ignorance you might want to educate yourself first.

    How about these states in the top 10 as a % of population on welfare? New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Oklahoma, Virginia.

    Poor states? What does that even mean?

    You're fucking clueless. The South is the shit. Wonderful people, great culture. Food for days. Oh, and BLACK people - a lot of them...not some theoretical Mercer Island diversity.

    Ask Boeing why they are moving to South Carolina. Or any number of corporations fleeing the woke west/north.

    You're fucked in the head with your normal stereotyping and CRT generalizations.

    Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi are all in the top 5 of that stat. Virginia is the only southern state not in the top 25. Every other southern state is on the top half of states for % of population on welfare.

    Conservative economic policies don’t work, this fact is beyond dispute.

    You’re take is too simplistic. States have different welfare requirements. Some states may have more people enrolled because its simply easier to qualify. The federal guidelines are based largely on national poverty rates, which are inflated by high cost living states like New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington.

    Household income isn’t the end all in poverty. It also has a lot to do with the cost of living in your area. I’d argue that a household of 4 with $30k annual income could live ok in the south, while this same family in the west coast or northeast would be on the streets.

    Everything is black/white with @TheKobeStopper seen through the Mercer Island prism.
