Does this not count as union busting?

    Gotta prove that she was fired directly for that. The main problem is that a lot of states (most of them) are "right to work states" "at will employment states" meaning you can be fired at any time for any reason or no reason so long as the reason isn't illegal. If there is no paper trail to prove that she was fired for the pro-union Tik Tok and she wasn't "discriminated against" legally (with proof of that) then they are free and clear.

    Which fucking sucks because honestly most tech companies need a union at this point, and Amazon's one of the worst offenders for this type of thing. This isn't the first time nor will it likely be the last time that people will be fired for what is basically union busting with very little legal recourse.

    Early congrats to her for getting that settlement from Bezos to launch her pro-union mayoral platform/social media breakout.

    The management who fired her should be fired out of a cannon.

    Imperialism always comes home to roost.

    The technologies and techniques used to oppress the other get justified and moralised, and then get deployed in the metropole against the working classes.

    She got fired because she was recprding videos on her personal time. It be one thing if she was doing it on the job but i agree with her, this is a violation of her free speech.
