1. UNION YES!

2. You won't be capable of doing this in your 40's 50's 60's.you will be asked to work somewhere else.

3. Unions did wonders for the rust belt

4. Sweet, let's get rid of amazon. It's a useless Job and the company is bad for america.

5. Sounds like every other production company. No, you can't just take a break when you want.

6. fire everyone that dont like the job ,

7. I would love to see the union pass.

8. Hope those workers succeed because Unions are the backbone to economic democrac.

9. A few years from now these same workers will be complaining because robots take over their jobs, or the factories closes and moves to another county.

10. a big YES for union =
    a big YES for employee power =
    a big NO for fire at will policies = WIN

11. Yay Amazon warehouse workers and delivery drivers! You can do it!!!!!! 🌟🌟🌟

12. “Amazon Worker Who Suddenly Died After Working in COVID Testing Area Complained About Unsafe Conditions”
    By Jordan Chariton – March 3, 2021

13. I think the labor board needs to investigate all the Amazon, driver hubs, warehouses and all there little sub contractors they hide behind.

14. Remember what the unions did to the auto industry. Why not ask for lower taxes for those on low income.

15. Where are the anti union workers videos
    Oh yeah there isn’t ANY

16. I hope that this union move does not effect delivery time. ( do not care they have a union or not . What I care is getting things done on time .)

17. Ohhhh AMAZON higher ups are feeling the HEAT

18. This would be absolutely momentous and monumental

19. Amazon is evil. People should stop buying from them and these hard working folks should be paid. Good luck. 🍀

20. Come on comrades

21. Good luck Amazon workers. Hopefully we see a victory for workers rights

22. People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Bitcoin as it's retracing….BE WISE

23. Solidarity Forever ✊ Vote 🗳 Yes.

24. They are likely to wussy to vote in favor of a union, scared little babies being stockholmed by Amazon, they can vote No and keep their half benefits, while I'm laughing to the bank every week enjoying 100% paid benefits, and making 2x+ their wage with only a HS diploma and from a company that makes about 10x less revenue/earnings because I am UNION
    Suckers gonna get Suckered.
    I hope they aren't scared and vote in favor. But my hopes are realistically low.

25. Quit!

26. This is a very interesting development….to Amazon employees and investors. Will this unionization REALLY affect their venders, special interest groups, charities, or their customers? Historical? Ew : ( BTW close captions working!

27. We are with you
    UNION YES !

28. Amazon takes advantage of its workers and its sellers, they mistreat the workers but then they also use the data collected of the sellers to undersell them. I hope they vote to unionize and I hope it spreads like wildfire.

29. Watch Biden will go after Japanese family owned business next like my parents restuarant. Democrats are desperate to victimize Asians. Democrats cries voter suppression because they love to cheat voter suppression is bogus laughs at when Joe Biden is destroying America Democrats are the party of Jim Crow don't forget they founded the KKK the Democratic party is the party of stupidity, slavery and victimhood mentality.

30. Go UNION.

31. People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin.

32. Capitalism exploits

33. Let's watch. If labor wins, we'll see how long that facility remains operational. They may just have a "corporate restructuring" coming, following an "independent analysis of their Logistic & Strategic Infrastructure". If so, about 5800 out of work.

34. News: this just in Amazon has moved to Different municipality, after vote to unionize.

    Honestly though they probably do something really slimy to try to protect their thin veneer of sincerity, like say “there’s a new controversy over Amazon shifting their factories to Mexico,” instead of claiming it was due to incompetitiveness of taxes, regulations (Houston and LA have similar incomes and both cities are over 1 million and yet Houston has houses less than half the cost of what they are in LA), and generous benefits with no import tariffs, things must get more expensive to retain our businesses, or people must accept some uncomfortable sacrifices and safety net and regulations.

    Honestly I dislike helping the people that watch this garbage, but maybe by telling them the economic factors underlying they’ll come to the republican side just a bit.

35. Amazon will just pull out of Alabama !! There are many states that will welcome their company

36. I think the labor board needs to investigate all the Amazon, driver hubs, warehouses and all there little sub contractors they hide behind.

37. Go union you could even get more money and better benafit. Amazon doesn't care about you all they care about is there profit. They don't care about your standard of living. Be smart go union. Union strong.

38. Amazon is way to aggressive and that can easily backfire on the company

39. These whiners are so ungrateful! If they don't like their job they should leave and do something else instead of complaining.

    All that these workers will achieve here is the acceleration of their replacement by robots. Then they will have what they deserve: NOTHING lol.

40. unions are the only way to be protected from bad conditions, unsafe jobs, or getting canned for having a bad day when your not the bosses pet. go union !

41. Bohu I gotta go to work and work hard i didn't know being an adult was so hard Man how The Times have changed

42. I pray they are successful to unionize. No need for people to be treated like cogs in a machine to meet some quota.
