Has anyone seen anything from reporters who have said anything indicating which way the vote is going to go? Also when will it be announced? I’m getting nervous?

    Normally these things don’t go to a vote unless those attempting to unionize feel as though they already have the votes needed

      This is how I feel about it. There must have been a lot of preparation done before any of this became public. I assume the union salts and organizers know exactly what they're up against. They wouldn't have pulled the trigger unless there was a viable path to victory. Of course, anything could happen, but the shit I'm seeing on social media makes it seem like the workplace grievances at Amazon are absolutely overwhelming. The public seems to be on the worker's side. Even grifters like Marco Rubio are trying ride the wave of animosity towards Amazon (though purely to misdirect class struggle into culture war bullshit). Meanwhile, Amazon's public relations seems to be flailing and exposing a degree of desperation which is not often revealed.

      I think the union is going to win this one.

      I've seen a union vote fail as bad as 10% in favor.

        Yeah, but it seems like public opinion is on the union's side right now. It's very highly publicized
