Re:Amazon instructs New York workers “don't sign” union cards by Retric on Saturday July 16, 2022 @09:57AM (#32118133)
How much do you think Amazon can actually raise prices before people just shop elsewhere?

The simple truth is warehouse employee salaries aren’t significant because of throughput. Someone making 30$/hour vs 15$/hour sounds huge but when people are picking 300+ items an hour that’s 5 cents a pop. But, more realistic unionized job would be 17$/hour but only 250 items a sub 2 cents increase.

100% agreed. My comment was referring to the part of OPs comment where they criticized globalization and proposed capital controls.
