This is one company that needs to be unionized, good for the workers?!!

A team of Amazon workers has forced the technology giant to recognise a trade union in the US for the first time.

Workers at a New York warehouse voted 55% in favor of joining the Amazon Labor Union.

The group is led by former Amazon worker Chris Smalls, who made his name protesting against safety conditions at the retail giant during the pandemic.

Mr Smalls' victory marks a major defeat for Amazon, which had fiercely fought against unionisation.

However, in Alabama, where Amazon was facing a separate union drive, the company appeared to have fended off activists in a tight contest in which challenged ballots could yet overturn that result.

Together, the two elections mark a milestone for activists, who have long decried labour practices at Amazon, the country's second largest employer.

By what total ignorance of history do you declare that this would be the "FIRST TRADE UNION" in AMERICA?
 
There is a big push on Starbucks were the workers are called Partners, where the workers have long been fawned over and had compensation shoved at them. Howard just fired the CEO because he did not think this assault on the company was being handled right. I believe that Howard is anti union.

Howard in back in charge.....this is that big a deal to him.
