SEATTLE — Amazon wants the upcoming unionization election at its Bessemer, Ala., warehouse to be held in-person, arguing against National Labor Relations Board guidance to hold mail-in balloting in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. The e-commerce giant late Thursday appealed the ruling by an NLRB hearing officer a week ago to allow roughly 6,000 workers to take seven weeks, starting Feb. 8, to cast their ballots by mail to be represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. Amazon argued in one of two filings that the agency’s pandemic-voting policy is flawed, in part because it fails to define what a covid-19 “outbreak” actually is.

That's awesome. Let's all vote by mail in that election. I think the Amazon warehouse workers should ask be making $100 an hour, don't you?

I really do despise Amazon—and it’s owner. Sadly though we have been prolific Amazon customers for years... But what Amazon did to Parler changed things. We still buy online (when we can’t find a local retailer selling what we need) but now find other sources than Amazon.
Yes, I have paid a little more and sometimes now have to pay for shipping, but at least I feel better. Will it hurt Lefty Bezos? I doubt it, but I’m trying to do something to fight back.

Hell no. Send those mail-in ballots around by the dozens and put drop boxes on every corner. Harvest them while they're hot. So to speak.

Big Trouble coming for Big Tech. Right in the midst of the after-Christmas slowdown. I love it.

Don't discount your efforts, #4. There are thousands, even millions more of us out here doing the same thing.

#4-7 TK, our quartermaster, uses Amazon for comparison shopping to find the exact item he wants. He then goes to the dealer's website and orders direct. Businesses like it because they don't have to pay the Amazon fee. Win-win, as they say. President Trump used economics to counter China, prod NATO and bring peace to the Middle East. The corrupt power of the commies is rooted in their plundering of the American economy. It's time for patriots to hoist the black flag and do a little plundering ourselves.
MAGA - Main Street, baby, Main Street.

I hear there are several states that could loan out their Dominion vote counting machines. (Those with the most money) just tell them what results are desired. ;-)

Bozo knew how they cheated on the 2020 election and he fears they will do the same to unionize his company.....

Amazon should have unionized its employees out the gate. Surely they believe its good for the little man. Surely.
Sorry, I refuse to read the WaPo since it has proved that it is not a credible source.

#4, 7-8, ordered a book yesterday. Ordinarily would have gone through Amazon.
Instead, started on Barnes and Noble, then found a local book store carried it. Bought it there!
Every small pebble carries a ripple far and wide! May not seem like we are hurting Amazon's bottom line, but in time, it will have an effect!
