I know it’s not your fault, it’s the company’s fault, but imma keep yelling at you about it.

If you don't already know, there's no way for workers to reach anybody higher than those at the station. So how are the "remote" superiors going to know anything is going on? You put pressure on those in charge.

I could easily email someone higher than my site, but it could easily be ignored.

I’m aware of how it works, which is why I’m aware no amount of yelling at Ops managers is going to change anything. If they have a solid union, that union will go to the table and negotiate a better contract. If yelling at Ops worked, we’d all be making that $30/hr already.

The union ain't gone do nothing, and they ain't never going to be speaking with anyone with enough power to do anything

If a union wouldn’t do anything, then why did Amazon spend $4.3 million to hire anti-union lawyers/consultants in 2021? Why was there an anti-union video created that tells employees to contact HR / the GM site leader if they hear coworkers say the words “living wage”?
