This is why unions and collective bargaining are so important. They can try, but they can’t ignore the demands of literally all the people doing the actual work.
Can everybody down there please just watch “A Bug’s Life”? Or “Antz”, even?
Serious question, isn’t that illegal?
I’m not an expert but i believe employers have no obligation to voluntarily recognize a union. (Though it speaks volumes if they are scum that don’t want to recognize it or campaign against it… like amazon).
The national labor relations board will certify a union if 30% of eligible workers sign onto the union. If the union is certified then the employer has to recognize the union and begin bargaining.
So by not voluntarily recognizing the union, amazon is going to force them to get the union certified unless amazon folds under pressure before then. Not voluntarily recognizing the union just delays bargaining.
If I’m wrong about any of this please let me know!
