If any company needs a strong union to push back against working conditions, it's Amazon.
Or Tesla.
Or Tesla.
They are already the target of many union's campaigns (some aren't straightforward, one can say) but for reasons that aren't related to working conditions and are far more threatening to unions's future: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-electromobility-j...
The amount of lobbying involved in keeping the german automotive industry going despite them mostly missing out on recent developments is staggering.
Years ago I declined Amazon mid way into the interview process after reaching out to ex-amazon workers from that same office.
On the other hand, I know Amazon workers in a different country who love their jobs.
Unions are needed if you don't have options.
Amazon could start by stopping the free banana handouts (in a city so gentrified nobody who lives there needs a free banana) and instead paying their workers in that area more.
You're also not helping anyone by killing off companies that pay low wages. There is no automatic substitution where a new company emerges that pays good wages when you kill off an old company that paid low wages.
All you do by killing companies off with mandatory minimum labor standards is reduce the demand for labor, and with it, wages.
But your president is doing great work there from what I gathered :^)
This livable wage argument is insane. If you think the livable wage argument is $19/hr, vote to change the minimum wage (and please don't do it nationally, San Francisco hardly has the same cost of living as anywhere in West Virginia for example). Stop trying to shame companies into it, that's not how capitalism works. Capitalism ensures people get paid market rate. If you don't like that rate, change the minimum wage.
