Amazon set up a page to bust union organization efforts here: https://www.doitwithoutdues.com They have a Contact Us page where you can report union activity. Let's tie them up with fake submissions of union activity from all around the world.

    IF YOU’RE PAYING DUES...it will be RESTRICTIVE meaning it won’t be easy to be as helpful and social with each other.

    What the fuck does this even mean?

    Don’t buy that dinner, don’t buy those school supplies, don’t buy those gifts because you won’t have that almost $500 you paid in dues. WHY NOT save the money and get the books, gifts, and things you want?

    DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY FALL FOR THIS SHIT? Do they think you just pay dues and get nothing in return?

      Yes because that's all most people in the US have heard about unions for decades.

      Now that I think about it, they probably chose the $500 figure intentionally because that's about how much a starting warehouse worker makes in 1 week. "You'll lose an entire paycheck to union!"

    step 1: mine linkdin for amazon managers

    step 2. report them all

    step 3. hope the workers use the chaos to actually organize or at least get a few days of slacking

      The least believable part of that is the earbuds actually. I worked at Amazon for a couple years and they had strict rules against earbuds or any other outside technology.

    Some Amazon employees were in the closet making unions and I saw one of the unions and the union looked at me!

    I just looked up a random $100k+ manager on LinkedIn for the birmingham warehouse and sent in a pro union message on their behalf

    let the heads roll, comrades. this is their central park

      Because of the podcast industrial complex now every site is a Squarespace site. Marc Maron did this.

    "I saw a union under a shelf today and it growled at me! I'm really worried it might bite me. I've heard if you get bit by a union you turn into one on the next full moon! please help!" -Mikehunt@aol.com
