Workers have a right to organize, owners have a right to close and move elsewhere.

That’s over 6 hours away. Warehouses are set up near population centers for a reason.

The logistics involved within Amazon are amazing.

that’s what walmart tells you when you are hired.

You unionize this location and we will shut it down and build a new one across the street.

As a good lefty, shouldn’t Bezos encourage unionization?

“The JFK8 facility became the first unionized Amazon warehouse in the US after the vote...”

Next week’s headline:

“Amazon Set to Close JFK8 Facility”

Perhaps I meant "news bimbo", instead of "newest bimbo".  

We could axe the Master for his call on this matter, former president Bimbo Dickins...

Personally I don’t have a problem with Amazon unionizing, remember Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, how have they affected the political process since he’s owned them ?

Besides, I’d rather pay a little motor shop at a mom and pop versus some mega store like Walmart or Amazon, whenever they show up in a small or medium sized city they put everything else out of business

Are the warehouse workers employees of Amazon directly or do they work for a third-party company?

At a point in time unions served a very useful purpose. Better working conditions, 40 hour week, and so on. Today they have morphed into nothing but a way to pay their union bosses big salaries even if the people they are supposed to represent go on strike....the bosses still get their full paychecks.

When I was a kid I worked at a unionized grocery store. The union pulled a strike. At the meeting, being a young naive kid, I asked it they were going to forfeit their paychecks since we we not getting ours. I got hammered like you would not believe. I learned right then and there how power works.

“Yes, shut it down. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania are all close by.”

And all union.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who has had a rocky relationship with President Donald Trump throughout his term, said Biden and Harris’ victory signifies that “unity, empathy and decency are not characteristics of a bygone era.”

************************************************************

Biden’s marxist inner White House circle, like all marxists everywhere, loves UNIONS. Bezo’s get’s zero “empathy” from communists. Bezos talks out of both sides of his mouth.

New Jersey is right across a narrow river from Staten Island.

Amazon built the warehouse in Staten Island for a reason, though. Tractor trailers crossing into SI from New Jersey must pay a toll that ranges from $87.50 to $115 depending on the time of day.
