      How would me joining a union help with the Amazon problem? My pay and benefits (and my coworkers’ pay and benefits, to the extent of my knowledge) are very good, so we don’t currently need a union. My job is completely unrelated to Amazon, and my employer isn’t a customer of Amazon or its competitors.

      I’m not going to stop complaining about Amazon.

        you can support the Amazon workers unions in a multitude of different way, depending on the exact structure, anything from donating a few bucks to the strike fund too righting a letter to your local representatives, or just informing those around yourself to why unions aren’t literally the devil

      Question:

      Which one of the following identifies a flaw in the reasoning in the comment?

      A) Assumes that the only valid forms of expressing discontent with a company are through union membership or boycotts.

      B) Overlooks the possibility that some individuals may not have the practical option of joining a union or effectively boycotting these companies.

      C) Presumes that complaints are only valid if the complainer is taking direct action against the companies in question.

      D) Fails to consider that boycotting companies or joining a union might have unintended negative consequences.

      E) Implies a false dilemma by suggesting there are only two alternatives to address grievances with these companies.
