STARBUCKS and AMAZON are in the headlines a lot because a very small number of their locations might get unionized. It's complicated because the jobs that are in the bullseye of the unions are jobs that people rarely stick with for more than a couple of years. So, for example, paying union dues to support the union's retirement/pension fund makes no sense. Paying union dues so that, maybe, you will get paid more after five or ten years on the job thanks to a collective bargaining agreement doesn't make much sense to the majority of employees who take these jobs because they are easy to get and easy to quit.
