Amazon says it fired a guy for breaking pandemic rules. Same guy who organized a staff protest over a lack of coronavirus protection

Re: Unions

Unions have their place

Yup - the history books.

but the guy leading the charge is being paid to be somewhere else, and he isn't doing what he was being paid to do, then the guy doesn't deserve a job

The guy sounds like an absolute joy to employ. Quite aside from the union stooge stuff, the things that have been said would result in dismissal from any employer I've ever worked for. The alleged actions doubly so - there will be entry & exit logs, CCTV etc so Amazon will know that he's came on site while prohibited from doing so.

A union plays no part in the decision.

Much as I love Amazon, and indeed hold their shares, and I think Chris Smalls is behaving like an utter cretin, I have to say that I don't buy this for a second in this case. Its more likely to be expressly related to the activity, and its simply worth letting a toxic employee sue to be rid of them.
