> They only hire non-union jobs program people at the registers because Amazon believes that cashier is a sub-human role.

The implication being that humans who aren't in a union are "sub-human" in your opinion? If so, that's pretty messed up man.

A giant, multinational, multi-trillion-dollar corporation that will only bargain with individual people living paycheck-to-paycheck? Huh, what a weird power imbalance!

Surely it doesn't have anything to do with their documented history of treating their blue-collar workforce like utter garbage.

I think Amazon are largely shitheads to their low level workers (and still assholes even to mid-level workers), and I am in no way defending them. I'm in fact sickened by them. I will never work for Amazon.

But the implication above was that the non-union employee is the "sub-human" option. I find that attitude pretty gross too. Humans are human whether they are union members or not.

		The “implication” is that Amazon finds them ALL sub-human and thus would hire to reduce any kind of representation or organizational power. Work on your reading comprehension dude.
