  1. Unionization should be strictly limited to non-automatable/non-outsourceable jobs and professions only.
    Service sector and even clerical jobs are now too prone to automation, digital outsourcing, and artificial intelligence.
    You really don't want to piss away resources unionizing a workplace just to have those positions eliminated via mechanization.
    It would be tantamount to unionizing a factory just before management ships production overseas and south of the border.

  2. So if I was An Amazon worker currently in a law suit. It will be class action if it goes to court. I wanted to use it to unionize. Can y’all help?

  3. Dang, how did I not hear about this? Missed my chance to see live. I just moved from Baltimore after living there for 7 years.
