Calling a job "low skill" is something bosses do to justify low wages and bad working conditions.

We're Alphabet workers. We’ve been organizing for over a year, & we’re finally ready to share why.
This morning, we're announcing #AWU, the first union open to *all* workers at any Alphabet company.

Amazon is hiring 'intelligence analysts', who should work
on 'sensitive topics that are highly confidential, including labor organizing threats against the company' and spy on 'organized labor, activist groups, hostile political leaders'.

Hey President Biden, thanks for supporting unions.
Hey @amazon, you are garbage. Stop threatening and intimidating workers.
Workers in Alabama – and all across America – are voting on whether to organize a union in their workplace. It’s a vitally important choice – one that should be made without intimidation or threats by employers.
Every worker should have a free and fair choice to join a union.
