Holy shit is this badly done. Starting with no answers whatsoever, why unions are regarded as bad except for "but our customers and partners!" and then a huge load of infodump about potential signs..

Explaining why they think unions are bad requires them explaining what a union even is.

Not partners, but shareholders. It doesn’t beat around the bush. It outright says “unions are not in the best interest for shareholders”

I was thinking about this the other day and while I'm sure they would never admit it, I think the reason Amazon is so anti-union is to prepare for automation.

Whenever they can reliably replace all the low-income employees with robots, they will do so. If employees had a union they might be able to stop or slow the replacement of people with robots.
