Amazon is going to be very difficult to organize. The first reason is their drivers are contracted and gig workers.
The second reason warehouse workers do not stay at Amazon long-term.
You can get cards signed to join the union, and Amazon simply drags their feet for months, and most of the people who sign cards quit or terminated.

I don’t care what you do on your own time, but it’s not cool to drive under the influence. I have a family and so do most of the other people here, keep your ass off the road.

Not such a good plan for Amazon and the like since the Cemex Decision changed the rules for the better at the NLRB.

I agree hopefully that helps, but I don’t know that Amazon cares. We have to make them care.
