Amazon had keys to USPS mailbox used for union ballots

Simple question: why would a potential union use mail ballots rather than gather them in a physical box controlled by the union organizers? Given the US's history of union-busting ... this is perplexing.

Is it silly of me to think that they were more concerned about the health risk of gathering everyone to vote during a pandemic than they were about Amazon doing something this shady?

Additionally, security of the vote aside, perhaps they valued the convenience of the vote and better voter turnout to be more valuable.

That has the opposite problem to the employer controlling the ballots, no?
