Here's hoping more will spring up like mushrooms.

Quite significant considering how hard Amazon pushed against it.

I'm also just quietly impressed that this was pushed forward by people in the warehouse themselves without an outside major union to help etc. Good for them!

It is a good sign that, perhaps, people are starting to realize that the power equation between management and labor cannot be individually negotiated.
