It seems fairly easy to get a union if a workplace wants one...

Right, ask Amazon workers about that.

The warehouse workers down in Alabama? Why would you ask them? They didn't want one. It wasn't close at all, either.

Because Amazon moving killed all other local work opportunities, and also because Amazon did not allow workers access to union organizers and information. The case is probably going to go the NRLB which will rule the election illegal.

It wasn't a close thing. It was a blowout, substantially worse than 2-to-1 against. (1,798—738).

Maybe you're right, and there will be lawsuits. That's a far cry from saying that the workers there wanted a union.

That's my point. They did ask them, and they said no.
