So don’t expect your Amazon packages any time soon if you waited till the last minute to order something for the holidays.

It’s how people learn to hate unions. They inflict inconvenience on the consumer as a way to get their demands met.

This brings to mind a 55 year old issue where both the union and company teamed up to inflict pain and suffering on me.

I was making a temporary move to NYC and decided to ship my clothes there where it would be waiting for me when I got there. On the day my clothes were to arrive there the transport union did a walkout strike AND sabotaged the shipments arriving by stripping the trunks and shipping containers of their shipping documents, resulting in thousands of lockers and trunks arriving in NYC with no clue on who they were shipped to. And on my arrival at the shipping station, was unable to identify my trunk from the thousands of look-alike trunks stacked to the ceiling, filling a gym size storage space. Then after the union intentionally lost my clothes, the shipping company inflicted their pain by lowballing my claim and taking three months to settle my claim for items that their employees intentionally lost.

@Heartlander What burned MY tail was listening to Union Members say that if we don't get our packages this year, it's all about Amazon's GREED.

Or is that...UNION greed? 🤔🤔🤔

@4meAndyou @cherokeepatti Some of those union-company fights reach the intensity of all out war with unfixable consequences ... no kiss and make up resolution.
