Amazon is facing a historic unionization vote at a warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama next week, and the company and its executives have taken to Twitter to plead their case. It’s going about as well as you’d expect.
In response to news that Senator Bernie Sanders will visit Bessemer on Friday to support workers along with Danny Glover and Killer Mike, Amazon CEO of Worldwide Consumer Dave Clark tweeted that he often calls Amazon "the Bernie Sanders of employers, but that's not quite right because we actually deliver a progressive workplace."
