If it's good enough for the federal election then it's good enough for Amazon!

Let's see if I can succinctly unpack the conflict of interest here: a group of workers wishes to hold a unionization vote by mail. Workers who won't show up to work, want to create a union to protect them from having to work in conditions they don't like, and they want to sit at home while doing this.

I had a boss once tell me, that he expects new hire candidates to be dressed to the nines even when the job itself doesn't call for it, because how they are dressed and present themselves on their potential first day is the best condition you will ever see them: the top bar. A similar reasoning: if a union can't be assed to appear on the day of voting to BECOME a union, you can expect to never see them again once they ARE a union.

Nevermind fraud. Unwillingness to show up to work is a valid criticism of a "labor" union.

I don't disagree at all with your statement on workers, but when I'm currently working at a mega corporation that quite literally has carboard cutouts of Fauci, with a 6 ft. diameter ring taped to the floor around each, telling people to social distance, I have a bit of a different perspective on holding companies accountable for the retarded covid rules they put in place.
