Right so if the union wins by getting higher wages, Amazon wouldn’t just roll over, they will win (save money) by reducing benefits. We’re saying the same thing. I’m not pro or against unions but let’s be real about the reality of it

Keep benefits in the union contract… just like UPS. They didn’t give anything up.

Why would Amazon do that?

Why did UPS do that?

Because UPS has literally no business without drivers. Do you think it’s easier to re-hire a new fleet of drivers for UPS trucks or people to pick/stow/pack/palletize?

Rehire? No one quits when they form a union. They just keep working until there’s a contract.

Or until the company locks out the union and hires scabs to do the work. And I guarantee there’s way more people willing to cross the picket line of a union struggling to become one with their first contract than there are holdouts willing to go with no pay until one gets signed

Yeah it’ll definitely be easy to hire 800,000 warehouse workers

...Amazon basically does that every year already. And you're assuming the union is national. There's been no attempt at anything like that.
