The NLRB can't stop Amazon from shutting down or closing a facility.

All 3 tristate areas are going to have the same sort of labor wage pressures and pro union worker mentality. NJ even moreso as that is the last holdout of the unions - especially the dockworkers at Bayonne. (CT I don't know too much about). Collectively, the tri-state area is the most densely populated, wealthiest, and therefore lucrative market in the US. AMZN cannot simply ignore it and try to get a cheaper wage elsewhere. You cannot outsource physical labor like you can software services to low paid Indians in Bangalore to manage their AWS servers.

Love it. Liberals doing liberal things to other liberals that don’t like it.

I guess there's an offset with volume and less gas, but getting $500 in tickets a day seems to make gas price moot.

Business colle t those tickets, get a lawyer, go to court, and pay for a quarter of them.

This is the way it's been for decades.

Did you really think that UPS Amazon, all types of delivery trucks, actually paid all of their tickets?

Is NJ really an option? Wouldn't they pay a toll each time they come to the city or something? That could add up.

There is probably a reason why that location was chosen.

That will happen too if we move all from China we did for the cheap labor.

Think and Reason.

I am just glad that if a Union comes .... it is not PROFESSIONALS as teachers and nurses... no offense to them.

These are for whom Unions were intended. LABORERS.

These warehouses are physical and you MUST PERFORM BY A COMPUTER GRADE OR FIRED.

Or they can Unionize everything just in time for renewed love and harmony with China. We go back to buying all that cheap stuff from China with no supply chain disruptions. Then Amazon, etc will go bankrupt. Thanks unions...
