The union win, at a Philadelphia store where workers are seeking higher wages, comes as Amazon is also fighting organizing efforts among some warehouse employees and delivery drivers.
I completely agree that it needs to be amazon-wide. But the reality is it’s a lot easier to close down some nameless warehouse in the area when you can still deliver to your customers out of another nameless warehouse. It’s a lot harder to shut down a store that customers expect to exist and remain where it is. I do think we think alike in the fact that unionization can stem from their customer facing properties into their “business” properties that are hidden from the public.
