Seems like a good way to keep Amazon from Unionizing.

How long are these jobs going to exist before Amazon figures out how to automate them out of existence?

If we had a legitimate department of justice, that terror organization would've been put away a long time ago. In addition to inciting violence, I wonder how much tax frauds their "leaders" have committed.

It's the delivery drivers you need.
Which of course can be out sourced.

Not a union lover by any means, but do love that a rich leftist supporting lib is being eaten by his own.

Already working on it since Amazon is pioneering the concept of drone deliveries. Anybody with two brain cells can see that the advancements in automation, particularly in simple labor jobs like picking & packing is slowing getting minimized as machinery replaces the human component. Warehouse operations has largely replaced the longshoreman and the teamster from a different era as the common low-skill labor channel. The change won't be sudden but, give it 10-years and we'll be there.

While that would be nice to stick it to that asshole, that pain will just be passed to the consumer.

Couldn't agree more!

Eliminating the delivery aspect, and just looking at the warehouses, they've pushed automation hard, but have hit some roadblocks. Automating the pick and pack process is not as easy as it may seem. But they're working on it.

Yeah, there's an interesting, and maybe entertaining element of irony here. But if the unions were able to penetrate Amazon, they'd gain a lot of power and resources. I consider that a bad thing.

Seems as though Bezos would push for his entire workforce to be unionized! He is a supporter of the woke left and the present party in charge. Bezos loves unions, just as long as it's not at his company...
