Amazon workers feel intimidated, says the labor chief

What I feel you noticed within the outcomes, regardless of the quantity of people that signed playing cards, was an actual concern that they’d lose their jobs in the event that they voted for the union. And that’s as a result of they thought Amazon knew all the pieces they did and even how they voted, that Amazon labored very, very arduous to get a really unusual mailbox put in on their property, and so they insisted that individuals vote in that field. I additionally wish to remind you that individuals began voting in early February, and Amazon additionally lied to folks once they wanted to maneuver their ballots. They advised folks they’d get their ballots earlier than March 1, though the deadline was March 29. Why have been they doing this? They did this as a result of they didn’t need them to have the chance to have interaction with the union after attending obligatory conferences of the imprisoned public.
