I don&amp;#x27;t trust it due to propaganda and clearly opposing biases at play between the interested parties.</text><parent_chain><item><author>dannyw</author><text>Amazon is offering competitive wages (especially for Albama&amp;#x27;s cost of living), and benefits from day one.&lt;p&gt;Maybe a majority of the workers there prefer the status quo?</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Union&apos;s evidence in Amazon vote &apos;could be grounds for overturning election&apos;</title><url>https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-labor-board-says-evidence-presented-by-union-amazon-vote-could-be-grounds-2021-04-28/</url></story>

Apparently that&amp;#x27;s how Amazon was able to threaten it&amp;#x27;s workers.</text><parent_chain><item><author>dannyw</author><text>Amazon is offering competitive wages (especially for Albama&amp;#x27;s cost of living), and benefits from day one.&lt;p&gt;Maybe a majority of the workers there prefer the status quo?</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Union&apos;s evidence in Amazon vote &apos;could be grounds for overturning election&apos;</title><url>https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-labor-board-says-evidence-presented-by-union-amazon-vote-could-be-grounds-2021-04-28/</url></story>
