Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Slight clarification to the headline: it's not the employee's cars they can't sing in, it's Amazon's.
Not that it makes it better, but my first thought was, "how would they know...?"
Aren't the trucks independently owned, and contracted to Amazon?
They've been claiming that, but the NLRB recently found that drivers are employees and able to join the Teamsters.
