Alternate title: Amazon employee was given a warning by HR after she explicitly broke company policy regarding talking to the press

I know it's fun to hate on the big tech companies recently and act like they are bullies (and indeed in many ways they are), but this is a bad example of that. Most companies I know of would outright fire you if you, against explicit company policy, went to the press and started badmouthing your employer. The fact that Amazon only gave her a warning is the only surprising thing in this article.

This is the "strikes are illegal therefore strikers are wrong" argument.

Interestingly, if Amazon did have a union, it would be obvious that being openly critical of the company wouldn't be grounds for firing (else no union leader could ever retain their job). The only reason we're debating the employees' right to criticize is because we don't have unions.

Any efforts to unionize Amazon employees in progress? If not, why not (considering labor organization is a federally protected activity)?
