According to your link the employees at Amazon are not union employees, thus they don't have much bargaining power as a group. These are hourly wage employees it seems. If these were salaried employees we wouldn't be hearing a peep about the extra few minutes required to check out.

So, for you anti-union folks who think these employees should be getting compensated, this is one good case of why you now see why unions get formed.

From the looks of it, it's rather evident that Amazon doesn't want a union and the employees don't want a guaranteed salary type payments. To sum up, you got to do what you're told if you want t keep your job.

I read the thread yesterday and was thinking about it this morning. This is EXACTLY why unions were started in the first place.

See the Chicago meat packing industry where people who suffered accidents (like getting their finger cut off on the job) had to not only pay for their own medical treatment but also lost their job if they left "the line" at any time for any reason.
