Amazon and Responding to Union Organizing

In this episode, I discuss the recent union organizing drive at Amazon including some of the reasons that employees may have voted for a union and why the employees ultimately voted down the union.

I also explore how organizing drives typically begin and the differences between the two types of organizing drives: union driven and employee driven. I analyze what causes these two different types of campaigns to start and what employers can do before a campaign begins.

Finally, I discuss what an employer can do during a union organizing campaign. I also review the concept of TIPS (threaten, interrogate, promise, or spy) so that employers can learn the basics of what they cannot do in a union organizing drive.
