      Yes, but only one of the 7 warehouses was unionized. So they are adamantly stating it had nothing to do with that (yeah, right…)

      I guess mercury was in retrograde?

        So, it’s criminal to fire an individual after they join a union, but shutting a site is coincidence. Gotcha.

            Oh yeah, we’re gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that’s the usual deal.

      Yes, but Amazon said that before 2020 they used only 3rd party last mile delivery and it worked fine, so they are going back to it, “this has nothing to do with union”.
