Amazon workers vote against unionizing a North Carolina warehouse

This is something where the high turnover rate works in Amazon&#x27;s favor. I remember reading that the average tenure in one of these positions is less than 12 months - and most employees only apply believing it&#x27;s going to be a temporary gig.<p>It&#x27;s tough to sell someone on paying union dues for benefits that might not materialize for many years.<p>The US would really benefit from European style unionization rules and process.

Just after a successful union vote in Quebec, Amazon decided to close all warehouses in the province. There’s lots of ways to send messages to workers.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cbc.ca&#x2F;amp&#x2F;1.7438078" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cbc.ca&#x2F;amp&#x2F;1.7438078</a>

What I imagine Amazon told the workers afterward:<p>&quot;Thanks for your trust in us and allowing us to continue to operate this warehouse here.&quot;

Specially now that management has become completely unleashed I don’t understand how come more people don’t organize. Aholes like Musk have no power against organized labor. At least until everything has been automated.
