Better help Walmart unionize. I heard Walmart lied when they said they were giving employees $15.00/hour and they dropped 40 department managers. No one is making any money there but a few managers. What a Public Relations lying joke. People still making $11.00 hour there.

TENTATIVE PUSH ooh such revolution

Sounded a lot mire than tentative to me.

The union lost 72-28%. A thumping. And after months of open and free union campaigning inside and out of Amazon workplace... overseen by NLRB end to end. Workers don’t want what union is selling. THEY. DONT. WANT. IT.
