Examine amazon. I deliver them. Im in a union. I've had a $100+k prosthetic at <$4k out of pocket. Pooled healthcare. Savings is matched and now i have $100k waiting and i did nothing. I have safe conditions to deliver. I get paid if im sick. I have a predictable schedule

Now, if i downloaded the Amazon app and became a delivery dude i would still deliver Amazon. No insurance No savings. Use of my own car. I could do this for amazon for 5 years and i would have nothing.

The union already blazed the way for my salary and benefit package.. So i simply benefited from it.

Amazon and uber workers and drivers have so untapped clout..
