Amazon supervisor caught Union busting

Warned workers to not sign union cards and shouted at workers. Happened awhile ago but relevant.

I applied for them once. I kept hearing stories about drivers quitting on the first day. Found it suspicious.

Worked for them for about a month and then quit myself. Horrible company to work for.

@SinlessOnslaught I quit the first day as a driver lol but that's because my training sucked. They trained me for one day and then the next day wanted me to go out and was just going to leave me to it lol. I don't even understand how they're sorting system worked. So the next day I quit. Plus I remember not being able to go to the bathroom or take a break. I was like yeah nah.

Just the general hurry of it all was off putting. You only have 20 minutes to load up so you can't even learn what you need to in the first place. Like I'm fast but not that fast right away and I didn't like being put into that position.

The UK branch of Amazon recently balloted its staff on whether to recognise trade-unions, principally the GMB.

It was turned down but quite narrowly, and it is alleged the company had spent a lot of money and effort on an anti-union propaganda drive to obtain that result.

I don't know what frightens Amazon so much. They have to abide by quite strong employee-protection regulations anyway, at least in the UK and any EU nations in which they operate.

Also, many British employees are in unions, and on the whole labour relations are good despite the heavy publicity given to the railway workers and medical staff disputes over the last year.

(I was a union member, and now retired, am in its Retired Members' branch)
