1. Well, if you look at their senators

and congresscritters, you get a better picture of why this happened.

[ampm]

2. Army of one wow

They will deserve what happens to them now they just threw their power away. So angry must be ignorance of their power.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. No one deserves to be treated like shit at work. Wtf is this.

[Hortensis]

4. Damn. They want the good jobs of the past but don't know how

they were once created, and are in denial when told. Crazy times.

5. Fuck these idiots

I don't want to read one more fucking word about how Amazon treats their employees. There are consequences for being stupid

[Elessar Zappa]

6. Workers never

deserve to be treated like shit, unionized or not.

[wellst0nev0ter]

8. They just voted to be underpaid compared to other warehouse workers

This is on them.

[Elessar Zappa]

10. Anti-union propaganda

is strong and forty years in the making. We can blame Reagan for the unions' decline.

[SoonerPride]

9. Well amazon certianly ain't gonna treat em better because they voted no

They'll get no rewards for siding with management.

So they will continue to be treated like shit

11. Huh?

This was their chance to help that, they chose not to do it. I was in a Labor Union 30 years and served in several official capacities in that union. These companies will fuck you every chance they get. You are nothing to them.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. Have you ever organized a nonunion workplace?

[Elessar Zappa]

14. I agree that unions are the answer.

But we're fighting years of anti-union rhetoric. Many workers are probably brainwashed in this regard.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. Definitely the way to build solidarity there. Really well done.

[superpatriotman]

7. This upsets me

Let the corporations shit down your throats because there's no other jobs anywhere?

Mother Jones would be disappointed.

[GoCubsGo]

15. This is what a lifetime of "Right to Work" brainwashing gets you.

I'm sure there was a bunch of the usual corporate intimidation involved, as well. Wish I could say I was surprised.
