The landslide has begun....throwing the occasional tumbling rock aside doesn't stop the rest of the avalanche.
This is the United States. It doesn't work that way.

I don't think you get it.
None of that matters. Government ran unions out of the United States almost completely. They did it because the people with the money paid them too. There is no way on this planet they will allow unions to come back in any force at all.
It doesn't matter what they do, how many votes they get, the rich will pay their way around it. Amazon will spend BILLONS before they allow a union to take hold. They'll simply shut that warehouse down completely and pay a third party warehouse company to do deliveries and storage in that area.
Then, let's see if anybody else dares vote for a union knowing full well they'll all lose their jobs if they do.
That's how the big automakers pretty much ran UAW out of business. That's how Amazon already broke the back of the Teamster's Union as well.
They can shift and vote all they want, but about all they're going to do is wind up back in the unemployment line.

He invited them. Then he paid them off, they left and nobody has mentioned union again. Nor will they.
Part of the reason he's opening the plant in Texas is to eventually shutter the California plant. The cost are far less.
