In a statement to Insider, Amazon spokesperson Heather Knox said the company works "hard to support our teams and more than 90% of associates at our Bessemer site say they would recommend Amazon as a good place to work to their friends. We don't believe the RDWSU represents the majority of our employees' views. Our employees choose to work at Amazon because we offer some of the best jobs available everywhere we hire, and we encourage anyone to compare our total compensation package, health benefits, and workplace environment to any other company with similar jobs.

CNBC previously reported that Amazon posted a job listing for two intelligence analysts who could monitor “labor organizing threats” and other sensitive topics, and report their findings to “internal stakeholders, up to and including executive leadership.” Amazon later deleted the job listings and said the job descriptions were inaccurate.Amazon attracted further scrutiny earlier this month after Recode reported that it sought staffing and funds to buy software that would help it better analyze and visualize data on unions, called the geoSPatial Operating Console, or SPOC. In September, Vice reported that Amazon’s HR department appeared to be monitoring employee listservs that were hotspots for employee activism. A separate Vice report found Amazon corporate employees were monitoring closed Facebook groups used by contracted Flex drivers to track planned strikes and organizing activity.
When asked its stance on unions, Amazon has previously pointed to the rapid pace of innovation in its warehouses and the importance of direct communication between managers and employees, both of which might be impacted by a unionized workforce.

She noted the lack of experienced managers helped create the conditions in which workers at the warehouse are now seeking to form a union.
“I feel like the reason why BHM1 is in a situation right now with it going to vote to become unionized is the lack of experienced managers that they had,” she said. “A majority of those leaders were external hires, meaning they were either college graduates or had been something similar to managers in other companies.”
She cited a lack of communication in quickly changing company policies during the first few months of the launch as putting Amazon workers at significant risk of job security and safety.
During the first few months of the pandemic, when the warehouse in Alabama opened, Amazon workers were allowed to keep their cellphones on them during work hours in case of emergency, but when that policy was revoked and implemented with zero tolerance, it was only communicated on employees’ screens.
“Instead of giving a transitional period for the associates for them to get used to this new rule, they went immediately just to say that if they were seen with it, it’s their fault, and it was going to be a final warning,” Massey said. “That they would be so callous as to just have something as simple as having your phone out.”
The same issue occurred when Amazon’s unlimited unpaid time-off policy ended during the pandemic in July, explained Massey, which was enacted abruptly in the new warehouse, leaving workers who went in the negative subject to termination.
Because of these policies, Massey said attrition rates soared and a lot of time went into having to train new hires.
She noted that she and other managers spoke up about the lack of communication and against the policies, but were ignored. As staffing became an issue, she added, safety protections were shoved aside.
“If we were short-staffed in an area, they would move an associate there to continue on without going through the proper training or safety protocols,” Massey said.
The lines were also designed in a way where six feet of social distancing was impossible for workers to practice while working, but Amazon still used a team called “Space Force”
“They started giving associates final warning for breaking social distancing, meaning that if associates were seen within six feet of each other, they were given that final pink slip. But that was so unfair to the associates, because there weren’t even enough seats in the lunchroom,” Massey added.
In the texts, Amazon claims workers will “be giving up your right to speak for yourself”by signing a union authorization card and emphasizing union dues, claiming “unions are a business,” telling workers “don’t let the union take your money for nothing”

Don’t buy that dinner, don’t buy those school supplies, don’t buy those gifts because you won’t have that almost $500 you paid in dues. WHY NOT save the money and get the books, gifts & things you want? DO IT without dues!
