I've always been a bit conflicted about unions. Those seem to be a good thing up to a point but I sometimes hear stories of them also taking it a bit too far and basically blackmailing employees to do what ever they want because otherwise they're losing their entire work force. In the case of amazon though it seems like a union is exactly what they need. It's a subject I need to research more. And I'm saying this as a member and beneficiary of extremely strong union.

Even bad unions are better than none.
