Wow. Just...wow.

Maybe the line with the worst rhetorical trick is this bullshit in the "joining a union" FAQ: "Q: Will a union provide better wages and benefits? A: A union cannot guarantee better wages and benefits. With union negotiations, you could end up with more, the same.... or less than what you make today."

I love that because it works exactly as well when you just negate the question:

"Q: Will NOT having a union provide better wages and benefits? A: Without a union, Amazon cannot guarantee better wages and benefits. Without union negotiations, you could end up with more, the same.... or less than what you make today."

I also laughed at the following:

'Can a union guarantee [...] better wages?' 'No [...] only Amazon can make commitments about [...] your wages.'

And then a paragraph later

'You may end up with more, the same, or less'.

So, if Amazon are the only people who can make commitments, why would you negotiate for me to earn less... unless it's not really my interests you have at heart in the first place.

There is an asymmetry because the union collects a due even if the fail to do the wage negotiation.
