I am amazed at the thesis that Jeff Bezos, who has shown his lack of fear of Donald Trump and AMI, would take an action out of fear of AOC.If you are looking for an alternative motive for Amazon's retreat, you might find this article from today's Times interesting. Spreading unionization at Amazon's distribution centers would affect its bottom - big time. It would appear that unions were trying to leverage the NYS subsidies. Cuomo was trying to broker a deal to permit the union organizing at the Staten Island distribution center. Corporate mentality is to prevent unions from gaining any potential foothold. AOC was a convenient scapegoat for Cuomo, when his efforts failed. The Times quoted part of Amazon's statement, “A number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward,” Continued lack of union representation at their distribution centers could be construed as one of the "type of relationships" that Amazon requires. |
