amazon anti union posters put up by the company

These posters make me want to organize.

Never forget: If a company doesn't want you to have it, it's probably a good for you.

My union got me more money in a single year than I will pay in dues for my entire career in at least 3 separate years in the 6 years I've been working for my employer.

I get leave each year that is slightly more than 20 percent of my work hours.

Unions are amazing for workers.

The fact they are putting these up should let you know it's something you want to join

Don't trust unions - they can't guarantee you benefits. Trust us, we guarantee the most exploitative conditions as long as you don't organise!

How is this even legal? As a European I can't understand how anyone falls for this blatant anti-union propaganda. They are obviously beneficial to workers (that's literally why they exist) and I've never had to run anything by my union unless I believe I'm being unfairly treated by my employer.

Obligatory, "if a company is trying to convince you you don't need a union, you need a union".

"Oh no, I'll have to go through someone who actually has my interests at heart and not my shitty manager! Damn unions!"

The amount of effort your company goes into dissuading you from starting a Union, is proportional to how much you need one.

They have only one argument, and it's pathetic and not even true. Dues without guarantee. lol

Reasons not to join union:

1. No guarantee that they will help at all mitigating our blatant exploitation of the workforce

2. Uh, it is un-american.

The creepy part is how you're supposed to turn in anyone who discusses unions or unionizing.

They literally tell you "if you hear someone discussing something against the company's best interests, say something!"

Straight lies. How can you tell someone that unions cannot guarantee anything?

If conditions were left up to corporations children would still be working, we'd be doing 12 hours a day 6 days a week and Charles Dickens a Christmas Carol would be an autobiography on the current bestsellers list.

Corporations are interested in making profits, paying shareholders, managers getting their bonuses, workers are don't make the top 10.

Never forget when Amazon called the guy who organized a strike "inarticulate" even though his speaking talent was literal poetry.

For those of you unaware, that was a dogwhistle. The strike leader was black.

"Have to go through a union instead of a supervisor or manager."

Like anyone wants to go to an Amazon manager.

I thought this was against the law?

I did a seasonal stint at a Target Warehouse recently, and while there wasn't anything blatantly antiunion, the effort is absolutely there. There is alot of talk about open door policies, open communication lines between management and workers, and a culture of "trust". My emphasis, their words. They also have a standing policy that, out of context, is very odd. Knowing what I do about antiunion measures, it's very blatant. They have a fiercely reinforced policy that there is to be no distribution of any papers or solicitation of any kind during work hours or on Target property. They attempt to rationale it with an example of people "asking for kids fundraising orders or public funding websites". Personally I've never known those to be even a mild distraction at any workplace.

Isn’t this illegal?

hmmm, maybe cover up that qr code with this one...? 🤭

gotta be plenty of label printers around the warehouse this would fit on 💪

How is this legal?

im not american so these anti union things are always wild to see, like do these actually work?

We're the first ones to starve the first ones to die The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky And always the last when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

Dues deducted from your pay.. yes true… oh no it’s a whopping $20-50 a pay (spitballing a range.. I pay $44.49 per pay)

No guarantees on pay, benefits or work rules even though it’s extremely unlikely you won’t get better pay, benefits or work rules using that line of thinking the company doesn’t guarantee that either lol

Typically must go through union, not supervisor or manager.. okay for what? I got to my supervisors and managers every day for stuff and even if that is the case so fucking what supervisors and managers don’t have my best interest in mind.

It is always the same tactic again and again and again. Constant variations of, "unions steal your money via dues and you have no guarantee of benefits then, but you do right now".

It's exhausting.

The same tactic, damn near the same words, are used for the same purpose since at least the 1800s. It works well enough that they just slightly modernize the language and that is that.

Piss on anti-union propoganda

Bet hanging and handing out union material on company premises is an instant termination.

The one union job I had was was great. Union got us good pay with benefits.

I worked at anti union places and seen many people mistreated by management. They had an HR department that would talk to the manager and a few months later management would say their job was no longer necessary and let them go.

One of the many reasons why I refuse to buy anything on amazon.

Many states ban vote solicitation and signs within 50-200 ft of polling locations. I'm sure it's only for state+ level votes, but it seems to me like having signs saying to vote NO directly on and adjacent to the voting machine for a legally protected union vote should be not legal...

Yes, union life is for you. JOIN A UNION!

They'd look better on fire.

Yeah but bathroom breaks and not being fired simply because you forgot to smile at the manager

The first repost bot to make my All feed.

Permanently Deleted

Unions protect lazy workers and friends and family.

Literally having several issues with my union and the CEO isn't helping me. What the fuck do I pay them for?
