Amazon has already hired the Pinkertons, so that's not a foregone conclusion. https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dp3yn/amazon-leaked-reports...

Come on now. The Homestead strike involved a firefight between the union and strike-breakers. Do you really think that's a plausible outcome of Amazon's anti-union efforts?
