I really think a union at Amazon would probably fix a lot of issues, but would cost most of the things about the culture that are actually good.

I do think the FC workers should be in a union. Absolutely.

I really think that if Amazon is only surviving with a razor-thin profit margin and they only do that because they treat their employees like beat-up warehouse equipment, then maybe it shouldn't exist as a company. My opinion of them has really downgraded from a "Sears" of the internet (back when Sears actually had a good reputation) towards more of a "Walmart" of the internet.

...and that's not to mention their systematic tax evasion. I agree that the human cost is the bigger problem at the moment, but i really get worked up about the multinationals earning massive profit and paying single-digit percent taxes. That's another rant, though.

I think it would be good if the FC workers unionize. It would greatly increase the speed of development for automation solutions and benefit robotics as a whole.
