      1. Union wanted the vote to be limited to a 1500-worker unit, which they thought was winnable. Amazon won out at NLRB and got an all-employee vote. 2. Voting was well underway, with the union losing, before Biden et al decided to jump in.

          3. In labor terms, the facility was a "hot shop," where there hadn't been any organizing before one worker called the union. A winning campaign typically has a big head start.

          4. Amazon paid high wages for the area, with decent benefits, and as other folks are saying they ran a very smart anti-union campaign, up to an including a mail drop box for ballots on the way into work.

          Might we add decades of anti-union propaganda and the campaign Amazon committed to make sure the effort failed?

          Unions are their own worst advocates--people want to work for a successful business, and labor rules add rigidity making business uncompetitive; workers don't like working for declining businesses. Unions are only successful now in government where customers are forced to 'buy'.

          Yeah, the Amazon argument was that this union wasn't actually going to do anything for people, just take their money. The "no" workers I talked to said they had hard but rewarding jobs and didn't need a change.

          Many Southerners have been conditioned to hate unions.

          I don't understand that. You'll have better wages, benefits, working conditions, and more say over work with the union. Did the union fail to make that clear? I've been part of a successful union drive and that message is hard to beat. But was that the message?
