Amazon — like SpaceX — is the latest company to claim the U.S. labor board is unconstitutional, after receiving numerous labor complaints from employees::Amazon has accused the National Labor Relations Board of being unconstitutional in a new legal filing, according to a report from The New York Times.
It’s sickening how everything is suddenly “unconstitutional” since the supreme court turned republican.
It’s silly how everything has to be according to a 200+ year old document, and how the interpretation of that document is arbitrarily changing at the whim of certain political influences.
The US labor board has existed for 100+ years, and now it’s supposedly unconstitutional? Shut up.
A 200+ year old document which was designed and written deliberately to ensure that no one amassed too much power, and is now complicating individuals amassing too much power.
Sounds like religious texts. And just like those, conservatives love to dig out whatever is most convenient for them (and ignore the rest).
Amazon and SpaceX are unconstitutional.
Join a union and Boycott these companies. Or stop complaining.
How would me joining a union help with the Amazon problem? My pay and benefits (and my coworkers’ pay and benefits, to the extent of my knowledge) are very good, so we don’t currently need a union. My job is completely unrelated to Amazon, and my employer isn’t a customer of Amazon or its competitors.
I’m not going to stop complaining about Amazon.
This take brought to you by Amazon!
Seriously this is such a corporate take, demanding that everyone stop complaining unless they do things that may it may not be possible for them to do. Not everyone works in a unionizeable job, and not everyone can boycott Amazon (Most of their profits are from AWS, which runs the majority of sites and services you use. Stop using them, including lemmy instances hosted on AWS? You start!)
Possible that nation wide labor rights may be eroded away, EVERYONE has a right to complain about that.
Oh, you are discontented with Capitalism, are you? Curious that you use an iPhone while claiming to dislike capitalism.
Similar logic lmao
Question:
Which one of the following identifies a flaw in the reasoning in the comment?
A) Assumes that the only valid forms of expressing discontent with a company are through union membership or boycotts.
B) Overlooks the possibility that some individuals may not have the practical option of joining a union or effectively boycotting these companies.
C) Presumes that complaints are only valid if the complainer is taking direct action against the companies in question.
D) Fails to consider that boycotting companies or joining a union might have unintended negative consequences.
E) Implies a false dilemma by suggesting there are only two alternatives to address grievances with these companies.
