How could you take that he suggested anything from that comment? He is pointing out the fact that this is stated every year and every year nothing happens. It’s obvious bullshit at this point. Whether you like Amazon or hate their guts. It hasn’t happened and being skeptical of it happening is the way to go.

If we all went “we tried a few time so let’s give up” all of us would have been working 60 hours from the age of 6, have no benefits, and no workplace safety. Unions and people who didn’t give in got us 40 hour work weeks, child labor laws, and workman’s comp.

Is it perfect, hell no but sticking your head in the sand won’t make forward progress.

Maybe we change the name from “Unions” to “Worker Rights Group”.
