Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama are trying to organise...

... Not only do the people working [for Amazon] desperately need the power that comes with collective bargaining, but it is impossible to fulfill organized labor’s mandate of exercising true power for working people in today’s economy if you can’t crack the most meaningful job category at the most powerful company. The relevant question, rather, is whether we still live in a country where unions are able to do what we know they absolutely need to do, or whether the entire, uneasy social arrangement between capital and labor has fallen apart.

That is a heavy burden to place on the shoulders of 5,800 people in an Alabama warehouse. But this union election is a confluence of just about every single procedural obstacle that has been put in place over the course of decades to make union organizing harder. Alabama is a “right to work” state, meaning people represented by unions aren’t required to pay dues; the warehouse workforce is a toxic mix of regular employees and “contractors”, a job category that exists wholly to allow corporations to circumvent labor laws; and Amazon itself is sparing no expense pulling out every tired trick in the anti-union playbook, from bombarding workers with propaganda at work to building a wretched website full of distorted claims to reportedly recalibrating traffic lights outside the facility to make it harder for cars to stop and chat with union organizers...

He could have finished the psychology part. Would have helped him in the long run.

He looks frozen in time, like some trauma is keeping him artificially in his youth, perhaps summoning up Facebooks success story after visiting the cross-roads and making a pact with the devil?

Monkey glands! Only the rich can afford them apart from Trump of course as he never pays for anything.
