Not sure how any of that works against unionization. If anything it’s a very strong argument for why the employees should unionize. As an employee if there’s gonna be layoffs you want to have rules in place to provide you with as much job protection as possible.

Amazon is still a tech company. They run on a boom and bust model. That's particularly true on a local level. The whole concept is that Amazon doesn't have permanent brick and mortar locations.
On top of that they haven't finalized their own business model. Even they don't know if they are going to be charge of any deliveries in a few years. Trying to crystalize a temporary Amazon expansion into guaranteed employment isn't realistic.
