Rep. Shaun Scott Says Workers Could Easily Form a ‘Collective’ and Replace Amazon

EXCERPT:

SCOTT: “I think that workers, were they to collectivize, could come up with something like Amazon on their own, but that Amazon has a very difficult time providing the value that you would like to see in reverse. In other words, I think that working people getting together, forming unions, coming out and lobbying for policies such as this, could create something that resembled an Amazon corporation without that added layer of exploitation. But I don't know that Amazon's leadership such as it is would be able to do something like that on its own. So I'm much more concerned with the social good of people that are in Washington state that want to be here, that believe in Washington state enough to fight for well-funded public programs. And they can speak for themselves through other channels if they would like to.”
