Amazon spent $14.2 million on anti-union consultants last year alone. If that's not a clear sign that corporations are terrified of worker power, I don't know what is.
@rbreich In my experience it is not so much 'worker power' many companies (NOT commenting on Amzaon here) are trying to avoid it is the additional layer of bureacracy that unions typically add to a buisiness.
It’s not like the company is paying for the union bureaucracy- the union pays for their own leadership.
Companies just have to enforce the contract- a decent company already has a complicated employee manual that requires them to document hours, disciplinary actions, PTO, etc.
A union just makes them follow the rules, which are otherwise ignored unless they fear a lawsuit.
