The creepy part is how you're supposed to turn in anyone who discusses unions or unionizing.
They literally tell you "if you hear someone discussing something against the company's best interests, say something!"
How's it not illegal?
Because Amazon can afford lawyers, and people who work for Amazon can't...
It's only illegal if the person you hurt is rich enough to sue you...
Ding ding ding, it is absolutely illegal. If I'm not mistaken the existence of the posters at all is illegal, not just certain parts. But the labor boards won't go after them since they are one of the biggest employers in the country for now. Believe me, that won't last. In the next few years they will have the packing centers 100% automated and eliminate the majority of the 950,000 jobs they "provide".

Exactly what I mean. It's illegal, but to them it's not because they're so rich that, apparently, they're now above the law...

They used to send the actual military to shoot at people attempting to unionize.
Crazy that they are using the same tactics to hinder unionizing that they used a hundred years ago.
