They know it but they are afraid of reprisals. They'll get one eventually but it might take a few election cycles for the country to shift enough that we can start getting worker protection laws they were stripped over the last 40 years put back in place

The attack on unions started just after WWII with Taft-Hartley, which brought us Right-to-Work-For-Less laws, and it also kicked out lots of union officers due to the requirement to pledge they are not Communists.
Reagan obviously made it worse with PATCO but this has not been decades in the making but literally generations at this point.
I hope it does not take generations to move it back to putting workers in a much stronger position.
Why are so many Americans so opposed to workers' rights? I don't get it - you seem to want to increase wealth disparity, and ensure as many people as possible live below the poverty line. Your in favour of these companies' profits being subsidised by the government benefits paid to the workers that don't receive a living wage.
I'm not opposed on principle, but I'd probably never willingly join a union and view being required to just as coercive as being prevented from doing so. The biggest issue with unions in America is that there's no competition so at best I'm trading one master another. European countries often have multiple competing unions, which often means that they're far more responsible towards their members. Even unions are better when there's a free market with multiple unions vying for patronage.
the rest of the amazon warehouse needs to be union as well.
