Just shut up, Joe. You'll just cause even more inflation and delays.

'Amazon, Here We Come,' Biden Cheers US Union Drive

President Joe Biden sang praises for organized labor once again Wednesday, hailing last week's triumph by union backers at Amazon as a sign of what is possible throughout the United States.

I suspect Amazon will just shut down that warehouse.

In a way I'm thrilled the unions will trash a company who has felt it their right to shut down selling conservative books, or ban things conservative... couldn't have happened to a shittier owner's group.

Unions can have their place. But too often they have turned into greedy money machines to sell political favors.

I delt with the union at the airline level. Not impressed. If you were the owner, you would never work the way union workers work, nor would you demand work rules like the airlines were held hostage to implement... and yet the top CEO's with their golden parachutes were just as toxic to the health of the organization as the unions.

Unions served their purpose back in the early days but in today's mostly Right To Work environment and most employers hiring the cards are currently in the employee's hands.

Regardless of whether you like unions or not, or if you like Amazon or not, the POTUS should not be attacking free enterprise like this without a good reason. He's waaaaay out of line.

Dementia joe...? Time for someone to put him out on a porch somewhere. He is not cognitively capable of being POTUS and the world knows it.

If you worked in a steel mill, cotton mill or coal mine there was a time you needed a union. Those days are gone. Unions are nothing but anti business PAC's for the Democratic party. The level of extortion and graft in all unions is mind boggling. Unions drive up the cost of any product/service they are involved in. I speak from experience I first had a union card in 1983. I would expect Amazon to close any locations that organize and move to right to work states. It amazes me how stupid the northeast blue states are. They have lost millions of jobs and population because of unions and they still support them. Ask Pittsburgh or Detroit about how the unions helped their economy.
