After Leaked Video, Sanders and Warren Demand Bezos Answer for Amazon's "Potentially Illegal" Union Busting

First of all, I do agree that it is shitty when a company forces workers to watch "training" materials that are essentially anti-union propaganda. Frankly I think it should be illegal, but there's a fat chance of that happening.

But that being said, doesn't practically every large employer of low-wage hourly workers do this? I know it's hot right now to beat up on Amazon, and for good reason, but they're not the only company that does this. In terms of the politics it makes sense to target Amazon now since they're already catching heat for their policies, but let's not pretend this isn't a much more widely spread issue.

What's Bezos supposed to say? Yeah, obviously unions are against business interests, just as they are for every big box retailer and other major employer of low wage hourly employees. You want to force the issue and not just listen to rhetoric? Then get out and vote.
