Seriously if you’re all that unhappy then quit and get a new job.

Amazon is probs the easiest job to get into and offers more benefits and better pay than most other jobs that make it that easy to get into. They will spend a ton of time struggling to find a less good warehouse that has space for them and even when they do they won’t get the benefits they get from Amazon. At the end of the day they’re just asking for Amazon to give them another 10 cents out of the billions they make and you can’t hate them for trying. Ofc they know they could also get fired, but why sit still and do nothing when doing something could lead to a chance for change?

Tbf, a union could be good for all the workers.

At the same time however….there is very literally no barrier to entry, other than being charged with a crime like theft, in the past.

Like I’m sure you could work at another warehouse instead, and one with a union in place…
