Yeah but bathroom breaks and not being fired simply because you forgot to smile at the manager

Many states ban vote solicitation and signs within 50-200 ft of polling locations. I’m sure it’s only for state+ level votes, but it seems to me like having signs saying to vote NO directly on and adjacent to the voting machine for a legally protected union vote should be not legal…

Never forget when Amazon called the guy who organized a strike “inarticulate” even though his speaking talent was literal poetry.

For those of you unaware, that was a dogwhistle. The strike leader was black.

I did a seasonal stint at a Target Warehouse recently, and while there wasn’t anything blatantly antiunion, the effort is absolutely there. There is alot of talk about open door policies, open communication lines between management and workers, and a culture of “trust”. My emphasis, their words. They also have a standing policy that, out of context, is very odd. Knowing what I do about antiunion measures, it’s very blatant. They have a fiercely reinforced policy that there is to be no distribution of any papers or solicitation of any kind during work hours or on Target property. They attempt to rationale it with an example of people “asking for kids fundraising orders or public funding websites”. Personally I’ve never known those to be even a mild distraction at any workplace.

Reasons not to join union:

1. No guarantee that they will help at all mitigating our blatant exploitation of the workforce

2. Uh, it is un-american.
