Re:Amazon workers vote against unionizing in Alabama on Friday April 09, 2021 @12:53PM (#26752905)
Especially in that region, I would take this vote rather as an indicator of the lack of alternatives. Amazon is so large that they could simply scrap that location without being that bothered, yet the workers do not have that freedom.

It's a shame that the third way to spend the money is totally forgotten now apparently. Yes you can re-invest, give back to shareholders, but why not increase wages?

Unions are not only about compensation but also terms of employment. I see enough discussions on HN about non-competes, forced arbitration etc. where unionising would help.
Is that really a realistic driver scenario or was that the nice story told by Uber? From my (limited) experience with Uber drivers, none of them only "drove an extra 15min out of their way" on their normal commute, nothing even close to it. It was a job like any other for them.

Genuinely curious, how are two full white-collar jobs in parallel even physically possible? Are they remote with completely flexible hours and not full time?
