On the bright side, it would ruin Amazon and bring in more competition from companies that don’t have to deal with unions….yet.
On the shite side, I use Amazon a lot and I don’t want that to ruin the great prices and experience I get from Amazon.
Instead of the hundreds of millions of dollars they spend to union bust, they could put that towards their workers while keeping pricing low.

I can travel all over making more than my local. I don’t because I want to see my daughter dance and be there at any moment.
You don’t know what the wage is! It’s actually documented. It’s on percent. 80 hours? That’s not how it works. Learn about how the books work and then comment.

There are enough safety and labor laws in place now to protect the workers.

And the free market system should regulate pay.
Then why has the pay of working class people stagnated over the last 40 years?

All unions do now is artificially drive up wages beyond what they should be which causes businesses to have to charge way more for their goods and services.
Businesses can choose non-union tradesmen, if they prefer.

and when I have a bad worker, I'm able to fire them and find a better one. In your set up, companies can't just fire them bc they are protected. That reason alone is enough for me to say unions suck.

Realistically, those disgruntled Amazon employees should find another job.
Or they could just organize and collectively bargain.

Unions can no longer survive without Big Government.
Inconvenient little fact. Just read the “Inflation Reduction” Act or look at some of the ridiculousness of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Look how Teachers Unions and a host of public sector unions have destroyed this Country.
If you claim to be pro-America, then be pro-individual, pro-MERIT, pro-standing on your own two feet….in lieu of picketing, inflating your little rodent, and even more severe thuggish tactics when the coffers of the loser Stewards get threatened.
Bet on your individual God-given talents and work ethic.
You can do it! Individual Men do it every day.
The fact that so many union members (thankfully) will vote TRUMP….shows just how bad Obama and his ilk are.

Unions are the reason you don't have to work 80 hours a week.

You really need to educate yourself on how the IBEW works before you spout off some bullshite.

So in your mind, the contractor will play fair against 1 because laws are now in place?
I think people are missing the point of collective bargaining. Fair livable wage in a safe environment. I make 31 an hour yet if I do side work, it’s 100 to show up and 50 an hour after 2 hours and I’m cheap. That about what my package is. How is that driving anything up? The tops will always make there money. It’s the labor fighting. How many CEOs take a pay cut ( millions) to give the working penny’s in a raise?

Teachers unions and crafts are two completely different thing.

Might as well call it what it is and raise the red flag, comrade. It’s time for the next revolution.
Look in the mirror. You’re not conservative at all.
