       | clearly want as many votes as possible so how would they know
       | which way the individuals were voting?

       | I also really don't believe Amazon was tracking who picked up
       | anti-union material at their mandatory meetings...thats never a
       | good benchmark for if someone is pro or anti union. For all they
       | know the person taking the material was doing so to take it back
       | to the union to show what the company is pushing (it happened at
       | my company with emails sent to all).
       | 
       | As we usually see, there will be never ending objections to the
       | election until it slants in the union's favor and then that one
       | will be the final one.
