“Escalating a push by ambitious Republicans to spotlight American workers, Sen. Marco Rubio today will side with the union in a high-stakes organizing campaign at an Amazon facility outside Birmingham, Ala. ‘[T]he days of conservatives being taken for granted by the business community are over,’ Rubio writes in a USA Today op-ed posting this morning. ‘I stand with [workers] at Amazon’s Bessemer warehouse'” Axios reports.
This comes just a few days after dipshit Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville told AL.com out of staters shouldn’t be meddling in Alabama-Amazon relations: “I don’t think Alabamians need President Biden weighing in on this issue and trying to tip the scales in favor of this vote one side or the other… Alabama is a right-to-work state, which is why we have a growing economy that attracts great companies to our state. But importantly, right-to-work laws protect workers and give them the choice to form a union or not. That’s what this vote’s about.”
