Good point. I was unaware of this tactic, but it makes sense.

Thanks!

If you're wondering what the play from unions is after this, its "unexpected" equipment breakdowns and coordinated slowdowns because you now generally lack the leadership necessary to fire people or lead failure/productivity investigations

The funny thing is though that for warehouse employees at Amazon, their job is so simple and all of their work is wrapped up and recorded for KPIs that if they slow down or become unproductive, they could be fired electronically without even assuming that the slowdown was intentional.

They’re hamsters on a wheel and the wheel isn’t going to slow down just because they’re upset about their situation.
