The propaganda that worked here was "if you unionize, well just shut down the distribution center". These people want a voice, but they're worried that Amazon will just scuttle them and they'll lose their moderately well paying jobs (compared to alternatives in the area).
Amazon has been giving the smallest of concessions to their workers which is contrasted by everyone else doing nothing but taking away. When your options are Amazon with terrible hours and $15/hr or some fast food joint or small business tyrant that pays $10/hr, it's easier to just think "I don't want to rock the boat".
Americans sure, american workers struggling in the pandemic and being scared they’ll get fired if they vote yes? Seems like bad international solidarity, smh
But these are workers, not soldiers. Dunno, I feel regret that people working in these conditions can be so scared/mistrusting of their fellow workers to vote in such a way :( plus that’s exactly what bezos is thinking: “I can fuck them harder”
The people who have to piss in bottles still trust their masters and would rather not have a union. You people are house trained dogs that need their master to tell them when to shit. Absolutely pathetic and worthy of no respect.
And:
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you Americans are so fucking dumb. Keep pissing in bottles bitch.
is clearly not looking for any sort of discussion or explanation. They're just being a piece of shit, gloating to make themselves feel better about their shitty life.
I know you don't care, it's for the other people reading the thread to realize you just want to laugh at workers for not accomplishing an incredibly difficult task.
In the end it wasn’t me that wished somebody else to be hit by a car.
Yeah you're just taking the completely harm-neutral position of mocking the failed unionization vote
However, there is an association between family income and military service: as family income increases, the likelihood of having ever served in the military decreases. A closer examination of the relationship between family income and military service reveals that the family incomes of those who have never enlisted in the military are somewhat higher than those who have served at the low end of the distribution (56.25% higher at the 5th percentile, 42.85% higher at the 10th percentile, and 28.57% higher at the 25th percentile), are no different between the 50th and 90th percentile, and are substantially higher (140%) at the 95th percentile. Therefore, among the working class, those who have served in the military have tended to come from poorer circumstances, while there is low representation of the children of the very rich. Indeed, additional analysis (not shown here) finds that the highest income quartile was significantly less likely to have served than the lowest, while the second and third quartiles were not significantly different from the lowest quartile in their likelihood to serve. In sum, the economic elite are very unlikely to serve in the military.
It’s international proletariat, not proletariat which I like. Listen to stories of workers in warehouses and find some compassion: absence of air conditioning, hurting backs and knees, strip searching on the exit.
They are working in the warehouse, but getting fired and without a job is more likely to enlist them in military, if that’s your concern about imperialism, even that is shit outcome.

Just legitimately stupid or purposefully ignorant for the sake of cruelty.
Yeah, the vote failed because they trust their bosses to take care of them and because they love the boot on their throat. It definitely didn't fail because of a combination of America's long, long history of anti-union propaganda and the workers' precarious economic conditions & atomized social conditions.

Absolute fucking scum LARPing online as a communist lmao what a fucking loser
Yes, they got scared/propagandized enough, but as a lefty you should not make fun of workers, ever, especially those who tried

This worry is compounded by the fact that atomization makes people less likely to take that risk. It's easier to take a risk with others when you know them; it's harder when you don't.

Useless distinction. The same workers continue to enlist and deploy. Being bombed is worse than being fired.

Please, don’t name call each other, it’s only pathway to hostility :(
lol snackage is the one being overly hostile, everyone else is just responding appropriately
You could explain your fundamental disagreement without resorting to calling each other names, smh

I mean just look at this fucking moron's comments in the post he made. Obviously just a sad little shithead who feels the need to gloat about anything, even if it's putting down workers, absolutely pathetic.

When your entire ideology amounts to owning people who annoy you online, this is the result. He'd be an 8chan fascist if that wasn't played out.
Just absolutely pathetic, a genuinely anger-inducing lack of empathy
