The infamous amazon Union busting video

Shit like this should be illegal and should allow company to be seized.

"If two people who don't normally speak to each other start speaking, they may be organising"

Making new friends 😤😤😤👎🚫🚫🚫

Warning signs include terms like "living wage".... fuck me for wanting to live, right?

We're not anti-union but we hire the actual fucking Pinkertons to stalk and intimidate you!

I'd like to take this chance to say

Fuck Amazon. Fuck this video. Fuck Amazon. Fuck whoever thinks this is okay. Fuck their management. Fuck this union busting bullshit. Fucking make these assholes pay taxes. Fucking break their shit company up. Also fuck Amazon.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Just goes to show you that unions work, otherwise they would not be so scared of it.

Reminder that Whole Foods is notoriously easy to shoplift from.

Wow be on the lookout for people talking to people they didn't talk to before, or people being upset, this is thought police, this is actually, literally, fucking 1984!

“We’re not anti-union, but we’re not neutral either.”

Well Amazon, you’re not pro-union, so what exactly are you? ‘Cause that pretty much covers the full spectrum.

"Workers have the right to unionize, but-"

"We're not anti-union, but fuck unions"

I don't understand the media professionals who made this. How can you live with yourself?

Union words: living wage, grievance, contract, representation

Holy shit is this badly done. Starting with no answers whatsoever, why unions are regarded as bad except for "but our customers and partners!" and then a huge load of infodump about potential signs..

We aren't against unions or organising, but anyone seen doing so is to be immediately reported to their manager's manager's manager so they can be fired immediately kindly defend their right to a direct relationship with the "associate"

"Speed...and customer obsession are not typically associated with unions." Gee, you think?

Usually giant companies like Amazon are overly concerned with optics. So one would think that the long list of "warning signs" to look for in your coworkers' behavior would have made someone go "hey, maybe we should make this a little less fascist before we ok it." Jesus fucking christ.

I can't get past the awful animated guy

We didn't get a video, but my first employer (Food Lion, a grocery store) did give us almost an identical spiel about once a year as "mandatory training".

Geek Squad (through Best Buy) is the same way. Worked at a Geek Squad City and they made us take re-education classes about how they were bad and forced us to sign papers stating we would turn in anyone wanting to form a union. This was 2007-2009 and the stress and pressure they had people under to do diags and repairs were not obtainable without sending out poor quality work. Most of the time, I was able to fudge the numbers for my team to keep the targets off their back. Didn't last long and got released because of a remote login program being installed on my terminal. Don't ever take your computer in to be repaired by Geek Squad. The good techs don't last long and the ones that stay behind are bad techs who suck each other off to keep some sort of status. They also encourage holding your hard drive hostage for their backup fees, which were $200-$300 at the time.

I'd kindly like to say

Fuck Amazon Fuck whoever thinks this is acceptable Fuck Amazon Fuck their management Fuck their training Fuck this union busting bullshit Fucking make their shitty company pay taxes Also break them the fuck up And fuck Amazon

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Now do the home depot one

And, again, your point?

Amazon is afraid of unions. So, you're saying that some workers might not agree? That doesn't contradict the previous statement. Are you arguing in favor of Amazon's actions? Are you criticizing employees who didn't unionize? There doesn't really seem to be any point to your statements.

My apologies for sounding argumentive; my intention is simply to try to understand where you are going with this...
