Shit like this should be illegal and should allow company to be seized.
It is illegal, but the US is completely toothless with enforcement on anyone with any amount of wealth.
Thankfully, Biden recently gave the IRS some teeth to go after millionaires who rely on tax dodging. So there's hope as long as a criminal isn't put in charge to de-teeth the government again.
And hopefully the pendulum doesn't swing too far next year for all that effort to be rolled back
The penalties are also so minimal that it's cheaper to re-offend

Warning signs include terms like "living wage".... fuck me for wanting to live, right?
Yes, fuck you, your mother, your daughter, your son, your grandmother, and granddaughter f ok r wanting to b able to afford to not die.fuck all y'all! Happy fall
Crazy
Reminder that Whole Foods is notoriously easy to shoplift from.
We're not anti-union but we hire the actual fucking Pinkertons to stalk and intimidate you!
Makes me wonder if we might have battles with them again. States that are anti union also have stand your ground laws.
I'd like to take this chance to say
Fuck Amazon. Fuck this video. Fuck Amazon. Fuck whoever thinks this is okay. Fuck their management. Fuck this union busting bullshit. Fucking make these assholes pay taxes. Fucking break their shit company up. Also fuck Amazon.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Wow be on the lookout for people talking to people they didn't talk to before, or people being upset, this is thought police, this is actually, literally, fucking 1984!
Union words: living wage, grievance, contract, representation
Yea, but I want my bug spray delivered to my door for a few small coins less /s
Holy shit is this badly done. Starting with no answers whatsoever, why unions are regarded as bad except for "but our customers and partners!" and then a huge load of infodump about potential signs..
Explaining why they think unions are bad requires them explaining what a union even is.
Not partners, but shareholders. It doesn’t beat around the bush. It outright says “unions are not in the best interest for shareholders”
I was thinking about this the other day and while I'm sure they would never admit it, I think the reason Amazon is so anti-union is to prepare for automation.
Whenever they can reliably replace all the low-income employees with robots, they will do so. If employees had a union they might be able to stop or slow the replacement of people with robots.
“We’re not anti-union, but we’re not neutral either.”
Well Amazon, you’re not pro-union, so what exactly are you? ‘Cause that pretty much covers the full spectrum.
"Workers have the right to unionize, but-"
"We're not anti-union, but fuck unions"
We aren't against unions or organising, but anyone seen doing so is to be immediately reported to their manager's manager's manager so they can ~~be fired immediately~~ kindly defend their right to a direct relationship with the "associate"
I don't understand the media professionals who made this. How can you live with yourself?
"Speed...and customer obsession are not typically associated with unions." Gee, you think?
Usually giant companies like Amazon are overly concerned with optics. So one would think that the long list of "warning signs" to look for in your coworkers' behavior would have made someone go "hey, maybe we should make this a little less fascist before we ok it." Jesus fucking christ.
I can't get past the awful animated guy
They couldn't get professionals to do the video because the professionals are union members.
We didn't get a video, but my first employer (Food Lion, a grocery store) did give us almost an identical spiel about once a year as "mandatory training".
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
