And the middle of a national emergency, in the middle of a pandemic, in the middle of a time when everyone is making sacrifices, union members are threatening Amazon: Do what I say. Or Else.

The many customers who rely on grocery and supply deliveries hating him because they can’t get it. In short, his public reputation as savior and defender and the future of business.

One could argue the unions are threatening essential businesses ... and thus it is economic terrorism.

The unions WANT a controlling interest.

No, it’s the skit where they’re shaking down the Royal air force base.

“Really be a shame if anything were to happen to any of your pretty tanks. Things do burn you know?”

Hilarious and one of my favs.

With something like 30 percent unemployment, a lot of people would volunteer as replacements.

Bezos owns a bully pulpit.
Run the story on page one of WaPo.

Did the unions miss when PDJT activated the DPA?

Be a real shame if something happened to their unions.

They (the Amazon customers) could always order stuff from WalMart.

I use Amazon for research, but seldom buy there.

I hunt down the direct suppliers and order from them.

Usually cheaper and they make more money.

Unions did the very same thing in WWII. The Douglas plant building B-24s tried to go on strike. Their efforts ended pretty quickly. It happened in other places.

Evil and grabby greedy people always try to take advantage of a bad time.

Anxious to see how bad 3M gets hammered if at all for letting masks go out of the US.

President Trump is long overdue to cancel President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998 allowing government employees to join unions and engage in collective bargaining.

It would cut union membership in half, and dry up campaign contributions for Progtard DildoCrats.

I am with Amazon all the way on this one.

I’m glad the employee was fired.

The employee should be in jail for exposing C-19 to other people.

As for the Unions...…….. I hope Amazon doubles down!

The last time I was on the Freeway, at least 10% of all trucks were Amazon trucks. And it was a 3 hour drive in the heart of CA.

Personally I believe Amazon is the most effective and efficient logistics company in the world.

Nobody else comes close.

“I believe Amazon is the most effective and efficient logistics company in the world.”
Amazon is amazing. A good friend drives for Amazon and he said the work is fun and easy, just difficult his back that he destroyed as a pro skateboarder.
Walmart probably has equal or better logistics.

“Walmart probably has equal or better logistics.”

Close

they had about 1/2 the trucks on the road that Amazon did. And we’re talking about full sized, 5 axles or more.

But not quite

Amazon also picks up products from myriad seller and distributor around the country and the world, then delivers to the customer. Walmart has all their product delivered by the source to a warehouse for distribution.

But they are two standout and stalwart stars.

Amen. Let them show up and find the doors locked, they can pick up their layoff notice at the same time. Only out of state items in transit would be delivered, all new orders cancelled.

A letter explaining one WuFlu exposed worker was told to stay home, with pay but showed up to start a strike and the union demand he be hired back, so to keep everyone safe like the Union wants, since their idot members can’t stay home WITH PAY, everything is closed.

So the union complains about heath in the warehouse then has the following demand:

“Cancel all rate and productivity requirements related to cleaning.”

Our “brothers and sisters” are working in unsafe conditions because of ChiCom Virus, stop tracking your cleaning procedures.

Idiots. All this after a employee who might have had CV is told to stay home with pay and shows up to start a strike. He/she deserves to be fired and prosecuted for engendering hundreds or thousand of people.

The employees were mistreated by Bezos. Now they are getting even. Commie organizers: “Workers of the World: UNTIE!”

Who gives a sweet Eff ?

Shut it down and watch America make do.
