Agreed! Mine was forcing propaganda down my throat trying to guilt me into becoming a lab rat! Unions have to break ties with the democrat party ASAP! I'm thankful for all that my union does for me, but I can't forgive them for that. Thank God I didn't let the pressure get to me, jab free!
Ok fair enough, but as a Canadian who lost his job of 24 years during covid because I refused to bend the knee my union and every other union including the teamsters in Canada were silent. In my case my union was complicit in kicking us out the door for refusing to take the jab. I lost respect for basically everyone, government (never had my respect), health care professionals, cops, unions etc etc
As a one time Teamster Union member over 35 years ago, my experience was they protected the bad workers who should have been fired and did nothing for us workers (safety, pay etc).
Amazon workers are the most hoodest of employees. If they up pay and become union, the better workers will apply and push out the bottom tier employees who are lazy n unreliable
@@chrisnorton3123 I know of several Teamster Union workers whe should have lost their jobs. They were drunks and didn't show up to work, or work when they showed up and the Union protected them.
Teamster are the worst. Broke them in my company back in 2001. Employees struck for 4 months betting that the Union would pay them. Well that didn't go as planned. 38 employees never got a dime from their Union. Upper Union Management is the biggest grifters in the Labor market.
All unions do is cause things to be more expensive and promote laziness. I'm a union member and I watch this shit. No matter how bad of an employee you are, if you can hold it together for 90 days, you almost can't be fired
I was a non union electrician and every time an ex union electrician worked with me, they were slow and rarely went over and above what was needed to get the job done. Not impressed.
Correct. They went way too far over the years and helped shut down our entire industrial base including Bethlehem Steel where my dad and godfather worked.

No use for unions. Especially for wage negotiations. This is capitalism not socialism. Wages, like prices are set by supply and demand. I promise that not 1 employee had Bezos come to their house and ask them to please work for Amazon. They all went to Amazon and said please can I work for you. You have an implied contract. "as long as he pays you what he promised, you provide the labor you promised" and vice versa. Anytime one part is not happy-either can terminate the contract. Quit whining. Either work or quit, but just shut up.

I love unions. 34 years with the teamsters. four years in the labor union. My dad 30 years Teamster. Two uncles and an aunt retired Teamsters. I received no vacation pay holiday pay or sick pay. But I earned a great pension.
Amazon is on the verge of automating their entire process, short of having a driver. So unfortunately a lot of these people will be on the unemployment line.
Amazon will never allow unions. Not in the FC, SC, AMZL or the DA’s. They had their own drivers as late as 2019. They have moved to this exact model to avoid unions. I know I’ve been working at AMZL for close to 5 years now. This teamster guy doesn’t know much and is ill informed.
Couldn’t agree more. What kind of person who’s never built a single thing in their life would say “I’ll bring them to their knees“ about a company that was started by a single individual in a garage and has grown to be one of the largest in the history of the world, and that literallybrings things to your door with one click

Unions are often pushing for "better wages" by government mandates, because their contracts are based on the minimum wage. The higher the mandatory minimum wage, the more they are over paid.

@@micheletisdale7467Not necessarily. It depends on their profit margins and how much less they’re willing to make. I don’t have high hopes they wouldn’t raise prices immediately but they wouldn’t have to.

Wow... amazing reality check. There's a difference between maximizing profit vs. optimizing profit, and Amazon would be wise to focus more on the latter option, which leads to a more sustainable business.
6 years ago, as a Los Angeles small apartment renter, my landlord needed to buy me a new refrigerator (the mini one, not the usual family size one). Thank God I was home when it was delivered. The Amazon driver just left it in the courtyard. I had to grab him and insist he bring it into my apartment. (I cannot do any heavy lifting). I had to practically argue with him as he said he was only ordered to drop it then leave. But then, he did bring it into my apartment.
When you buy Amazon you buy quick, cheap, door delivery. They do not have to bring it into your home. You want that service, you buy from the store and it's part of their contract to bring it in your home and install.
Sometimes there's no good guy. Not a fan of Amazon and try to look for options. But I hate unions too. Too thugush and often involved with the socialists!
I only do business with Amazon. I save thousands every year, and get free products all the time. They carry everything. Never an argument when returning things. Same day and next day shipping. I love Amazon. Teamsters and unions suck.
I am in Canada and most Amazon drivers are immigrants from India, who Trudeau let in huge numbers and they work for scrap wages at Amazon, because they have no choice. I don't always support Unions, but I think in those cases where there is such an imbalance of power it's needed.
Sorry deport deport deport the FTW’s and foreign students as well as illegals and give jobs to Canadians but no teamsters union which back WEF and ndp and work for themselves not for the workers, except of course the laziest and worthless workers who keep their jobs
The driver's for Amazon work there butt's off. From what I heard there truck's are filled and you have to deliver the whole truck before you come back to the warehouse.
You take a job and tell you what the terms of the job are you either agree to accept them or you decline and go somewhere else. Couldn't be more simple
I boycotted Amazon a long time ago. Recently (11/2024) I was in San Juan and witnessed Bezos' sailing yacht and the support vessel. Absolutely pathetic. I made a video of that and it is on my channel. Jeff has too much money and does not take care of his own.
My kid worked for Amazon before and during the lockdowns…they treat their employees like 💩!! They would make them all stop work and put on masks and film it for 5 min for corporate. To show they were “compliant”. They let drunks, people high AF, and people claiming they HAD covid stay on the job! When my kid got injured they claimed to have no HR, and no Wi-Fi to reach HR in TX so, sorry bout your injury but we can’t help 🤷♀️. Absolute SHT company!
Shoulda sued and got rich! I don't know where this happened, but it's against the law to not have certain assurances in Kansas.... If an employer gets caught without unemployment insurance it's not a good turnout for them.
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely, not my words, look anywhere in the world, it's true, look at any large company at it's roots, not there PR.

I was a Union Rep in my 30s and I learned to despise them. I joined the Management Team and fought the constant overreach of the Unions. It is disgusting the unions think they are equal to the people who built these companies. Unions never feed anyone except the national leadership.
Biggest useless leeches on the planet
Agreed
Ask Detroit how great unions are. Unions destroyed that city.
I was a union rep in my 20's and I helped negotiate fair wages and a overtime clause as well as paid meals, how did our experience vary so widely? Did you get scooped up and then let's go or do you still work for this company? Seems like you turned your back on your beliefs and your employees when you were not successful... well done?
@mistarocks you are a commie
Hell NO Unions, legalized crime bosses!
Ive been saying this for years. Union is crime and extortion
I never like unions, that is why many companies left the US and goes overseas.
That would NAFTA not the unions. Unions negotiate over profit, Bezos has plenty to share with the people that make him rich.
@@jameskoutnik8213 And you mute people after spewing hateful ad hominem slurs only because you're so absolutely uneducated, that you can't let anyone besmirch your overinflated ego with simple logic.
Unions only drive up costs and criminalize the working environment. You're just a kid with no understanding of economics.
Attended a union meeting associated with my profession and one of the members suggested we “shame” our colleagues who were not members. What type of working environment does that produce……not a good one in my opinion.
I don't buy with Amazon and don't have a membership - don't shop at Whole Foods either. Neither do I support unions of any kind. If you don't like how a company treats you, find another job. There are thousands of places begging for employees
So simplistic...

What a crock! Unions are never the answer and I’m ashamed to know our side is now welcoming these criminals.

No use for unions. Especially for wage negotiations. This is capitalism not socialism. Wages, like prices are set by supply and demand. I promise that not 1 employee had Bezos come to their house and ask them to please work for Amazon. They all went to Amazon and said please can I work for you. You have an implied contract. "as long as he pays you what he promised, you provide the labor you promised" and vice versa. Anytime one part is not happy-either can terminate the contract. Quit whining. Either work or quit, but just shut up.
No this doesn't work people are being mistreated you are undermining a lot of people working really hard providing for their families because they don't see a better option avaliable to them 😢
@@mistarocksthen they can get a better job. It is not your employers job to make you feel better. Get a life and grow up
@@mistarocks If people are being mistreated they can go work somewhere else. It's a free market. If a business can't get employees because of their actions, they will have to change or go under.
Why give them a platform? Workers do not need unions. Cost of goods are more with unions
I remember not too long ago when deplatforming was a leftist strategy....
You should be able to interview everybody. You sound like a liberal
It's good to see the union starting to wake up and see what the democrats are actually doing to them!!!
And has been doing for decades!!!
They wouldn’t endorse Trump even though 65% of their union was voting for him
Teamsters are the worst of the unions, the tops get rich off the dues and do diddly for the little guy while keeping employed the lazy and waste of skins
@@lJ0blixenI think the AFT might be worse.
@@lJ0blixen A lot of construction companies that have the trade unions are getting rid of teamsters. Teamsters are definitely clocksuckers.

Aka aristocrats and corporatism, aka Marxist socialism in the work force. Destroying the worker. It was never capitalism that fooled the worker.
He's not even running the show anymore
How so? They provide a very popular service. If you dont want to work there dont work there. And if you really hate them start a competitor and beat them. But you wont...you will just sit behind your keyboard and spit assinine bs.
For the little that I think of besos, his company is a success story. I'm old enough to remember when Amazon just sold books look at it now
I was called a hero as a RN till I refused C0vid shots and tyrannical mandates!!
Tucker rocks!!🎉
Good to see many people here calling out obsolete corrupt unions. You can't bitch about the Kamalas of the world and still want something like the Teamsters to exist. We're a long way from any prominent politician trashing unions but it doesn't matter anyways as technology will make many jobs obsolete before you can even vote on it.
Don’t work for Amazon, make an employee owned company that does the same thing and get investors.
Oh that would be hard and it would require intelligence on part of the fellow that Tucker is interviewing.
Ye, that requires hard work and higher IQ.
It's much easier to run a shakedown operation.
Unions are how you get inferior products and service at a higher cost. Cars are a perfect example.
Unions have absolutely help destroy this country and a big reason companies have moved their production outside 🇺🇸
Can’t agree more. This guy is a total joke and just because the Republicans needed to beat the Democrats this time around doesn’t mean that suddenly. “unions are great”
BS
@@johnbernacki6155
You make his point by not being able to come back with an intelligent retort? You're only response is the profanity which reveals your low intellect.
Anybody who really believes the union will actually help them. Was never in a union. Don't believe me ask the "union members" in the UAW or the UPS workers AFTER the "largest wage increase" which BTW netted 12K laid off immediately.
Yep same with the IBEW. You got to be 2 years as a temp for the phone company before you can become permanent. Bastid's laid us off after a year and 11 months. Barry the union steward says don't worry they call everyone back.. 25 years later no call lol. Glad I moved on to the electric company, much better!!
I love unions. 34 years with the teamsters. four years in the labor union. My dad 30 years Teamster. Two uncles and an aunt retired Teamsters. I received no vacation pay holiday pay or sick pay. But I earned a great pension.
A quote from a very wise man( my Dad) in 1980- " The Union w/ Destroy the Country."
Amazon is on the verge of automating their entire process, short of having a driver. So unfortunately a lot of these people will be on the unemployment line.
Amazon will never allow unions. Not in the FC, SC, AMZL or the DA’s. They had their own drivers as late as 2019. They have moved to this exact model to avoid unions. I know I’ve been working at AMZL for close to 5 years now. This teamster guy doesn’t know much and is ill informed.
He's just a muscle-bound thug
I hate unions.
Couldn’t agree more. What kind of person who’s never built a single thing in their life would say “I’ll bring them to their knees“ about a company that was started by a single individual in a garage and has grown to be one of the largest in the history of the world, and that literallybrings things to your door with one click
@@davidkey4272 Bezos heritad millions from his parents, he didn't just start in a garage and Bezos didn't build anything himself. His employees did. He just managed them very well.

Exactly 💯
There's a saying in my trade you can do 6 years and never fix a thing but will become a journeyman just due to years in trade. Worked with plenty of them to know they don't earn their pay. Laziest most entitled group of people I've been around personally
I won't buy anything from Amazon or whole foods.
Never have , never will
So you don't buy anything? LoL
Same
Good luck
Whole foods is easy to drop .They suck !
Basically. They want to drive up the cost of Amzn deliveries for all of us.
WRONG - you can not pay your bills bringing home $200 a week 😡😡😡😡 try educating your stupid self -
Unions are about as useful as our government..
Unions are often pushing for "better wages" by government mandates, because their contracts are based on the minimum wage. The higher the mandatory minimum wage, the more they are over paid.
Glad you brought this fella on.
This guy makes my skin crawl
Y? Lol
That was my first response I got through less than a minute of it and had to shut it off. He just gave me the impression of some Union thug who roughs up people who don't agree with him
My UPS drivers and store employees are excellent in our area. Always courteous and helpful when necessary.
But note that UPS is a very aggressive Affirmative Action employer.
UPS is the best. Their drivers are awesome...Fed Ex is next, but don't get me started on the miserable USPS employees. They would rather cram a delivery box in a much smaller mailbox than deliver it 2 houses down.
@@nitromartini1422 Tell me about it. I can't remember the last time I saw a white delivery driver.

I don’t like the teamsters guy at all. His type are gross
I think this gentleman is going to find out real soon that the Employees Amazon hires live paycheck to paycheck and will not hold out more than a week maybe two for a strike.
Which is why they're striking....
That's exactly what companies do. Pay you enough to stay and enough to barely get by. It's evil asF.
Yup, most of the people I worked with there were using every dime to pay for childcare and food, and nothing else. They're living day by day, so Bezos would just have to hold out long enough and they'll all go back to work, or they'll starve.
It's a vicious cycle. If they were to pay their employees more, then we would be paying more also. It sucks but that's how it works.
@@micheletisdale7467Not necessarily. It depends on their profit margins and how much less they’re willing to make. I don’t have high hopes they wouldn’t raise prices immediately but they wouldn’t have to.
When you're making the profits that Amazon is making they should be taking better care of their employees
Why? They're out to make a profit. If you're an employee with skills then you pick an employer that meets your requirements for benefits etc. if you don't have any skills then guess what you have to take whatever they offer
What do they make in profits?
It doesn't matter if you're the best broom pusher in the world, the job is only worth minimum wage. If you want more money learn more skills.
DO YOU WORK FOR AMAZON? WHAT DO YOU KNOW! THE UNIONS NEVER PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE!
What a crybaby.
Jeff bezos can do it whatever he wants with his company. Plus I have driven many people to Amazon locations and I asked him if they like their job and most say yes
Ha, good luck. Teamsters are puny compared to Amazon. Amazon will just privatize their fleet and drivers. Problem solved.
He probably works for Amazon.
They probably already are.
The Teamsters has 1.4 million working members. Amazon has approximately 1.5 million employees... fairly close.
If you don't like em don't use em
Amazon sucks now, it’s overinflated with cheapo Chinese brands with weird names.
You clearly haven't learned to be a discriminating consumer. It can work very well if you know how to evaluate vendors
@ So you know who I am, and what my shopping criteria is based an a UA-cam comment? You make bold assumptions with no justifying data that I’m not making informed choices without understanding my reasoning or context. The idea of my not being a “discriminating consumer” based on your accusation is irrationally subjective at best with no context and no metric to define “discriminating consumer”. My purchasing decisions are based on my own values, needs, and circumstances, which may differ from yours, but that doesn’t make them any less valid, nor does your accusation bear weight on devaluing the truth of my comment.
Remember when Bezos tried to get a historical bridge removed because his expensive yacht doesn't fit when he could've had the masts installed after the yacht leaves through the bridge.
No way!!! it shouldn't surprise me, but it does. He needs to be taken down.
@@KBloves1trueGOD I remember this. It was a meme for a while, years ago. Bezos and the Chinese crooks on Amazon are absolutely Yonkers. Absolutely temu trash

To be a true Conservative, is to appreciate and foster the protection of the people of your land. Support good, non-corrupt unions and families will have access to material means to flourish, God willing
There's no such thing as a non-corrupt union.
I don't buy anything from amazon. I support small business.
You are really good i try too do the same!
I support the success story because supporting success and entrepreneurial drive is what makes this country great
THEN DONT DO YOU KNOW THAT SMALL BUSINESSES SELL ON AMAZONS PLATFORM! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TAKING ABOUT!
Never been a fan of unions, I think they have gone way too far in the past, but this is what they're for.
I worked at Amazon for 2 weeks. Worst job I've ever had. IDK how people work in that hellish environment.
Wow... amazing reality check. There's a difference between maximizing profit vs. optimizing profit, and Amazon would be wise to focus more on the latter option, which leads to a more sustainable business.
Bezos is the sole reason we chose NEVER to support Amazon.
Your loss
THEN DONT I DONT SUPORT UNIONS AND I NEVER WILL!
Very silly. He has never done anything to you. Accept make same day shipping possible.
Too bad Public Square is out of reach price wise to most citizens of the US. Thank you for having Teamster’s on. Merry Christmas
6 years ago, as a Los Angeles small apartment renter, my landlord needed to buy me a new refrigerator (the mini one, not the usual family size one). Thank God I was home when it was delivered. The Amazon driver just left it in the courtyard. I had to grab him and insist he bring it into my apartment. (I cannot do any heavy lifting). I had to practically argue with him as he said he was only ordered to drop it then leave. But then, he did bring it into my apartment.
When you buy Amazon you buy quick, cheap, door delivery. They do not have to bring it into your home. You want that service, you buy from the store and it's part of their contract to bring it in your home and install.
@@1flying Thanks for your info. Our fab apartment handyman took care of the rest. I have never used Amazon.
Sometimes there's no good guy. Not a fan of Amazon and try to look for options. But I hate unions too. Too thugush and often involved with the socialists!

Unions are vital. But the teamsters do not represent their people well. Their corruption is monumental.

The Teamsters have always had corrupt leadership, starting with Jimmy Hoffa Sr.
I will do absolutely no business with Amazon.
I haven't bought anything from them in 10 years. Total waste.
I've noticed that a lot of the product is now coming straight from China and they don't list the country of origin on their description any longer.
Right there with ya.
Thatll show'm
I only do business with Amazon.
I save thousands every year, and get free products all the time. They carry everything. Never an argument when returning things. Same day and next day shipping.
I love Amazon.
Teamsters and unions suck.
I am in Canada and most Amazon drivers are immigrants from India, who Trudeau let in huge numbers and they work for scrap wages at Amazon, because they have no choice. I don't always support Unions, but I think in those cases where there is such an imbalance of power it's needed.
Sorry deport deport deport the FTW’s and foreign students as well as illegals and give jobs to Canadians but no teamsters union which back WEF and ndp and work for themselves not for the workers, except of course the laziest and worthless workers who keep their jobs
THAT ALL DEPEND ON HOW YOUR COUNTY DOUSE IT LABER STUFF! MOST AMAZON DRIVER I KNOW DONT WHAT A UNUAN!
Thank you for talking about this
As a man he is very insecure, he can’t get it with money .
Remember no one could touch Sears Co. JC Penny where are they now?
The driver's for Amazon work there butt's off. From what I heard there truck's are filled and you have to deliver the whole truck before you come back to the warehouse.
You take a job and tell you what the terms of the job are you either agree to accept them or you decline and go somewhere else. Couldn't be more simple
THAT IS WHAT THAY GET PAY FOR!
Why don't you unionize all drivers? Then, let's strike!!!!
I boycotted Amazon a long time ago. Recently (11/2024) I was in San Juan and witnessed Bezos' sailing yacht and the support vessel. Absolutely pathetic. I made a video of that and it is on my channel. Jeff has too much money and does not take care of his own.
Make accountable, honorable behavior great again.
My kid worked for Amazon before and during the lockdowns…they treat their employees like 💩!! They would make them all stop work and put on masks and film it for 5 min for corporate. To show they were “compliant”. They let drunks, people high AF, and people claiming they HAD covid stay on the job! When my kid got injured they claimed to have no HR, and no Wi-Fi to reach HR in TX so, sorry bout your injury but we can’t help 🤷♀️. Absolute SHT company!
Shoulda sued and got rich!
I don't know where this happened, but it's against the law to not have certain assurances in Kansas.... If an employer gets caught without unemployment insurance it's not a good turnout for them.
If Amazon had employees like that it wouldn't function so stop the nonsense
MY HUBEND HAS WORK FOR AMAZON FOR FOUR YEARS HE SAYS IT IS JUST FINE! MABE YOUR SON IS A WEEKLING!
