Amazon and unions

vendredi 4 septembre 2020 à 02:00

Amazon advertised for staff to interfere with union organizing.

Amazon later said that ad was posted "in error", which probably means the hiring was supposed to be done quietly. Amazon has long made a practice of monitoring staff's discussions about unionization.

Around a million primary election ballots were mailed to voters within a week of the election, meaning they very likely arrived too late to be sent back and counted.
