Amazon spent $14 million on union-busting law firms in one year alone
In June, Amazon’s “Prime Day” sales event drove $26.3 billion in sales.
Another Prime Day is coming on October 6th and 7th.
Amazon workers have to pack and ship all of these orders at a brutal pace in overheated warehouses. They’re fighting to unionize―and we need to have their back.
Can you rush a donation to unionize Amazon?
Amazon workers are the ones who have to hunt through Amazon warehouses at a brutal pace to get millions of items shipped in time to keep the two-day shipping promise. Amazon makes billions during Prime, but those workers won’t see it.
Instead, a big chunk of that money goes right to union-busting firms that will push down wages and retaliate against pro-union workers. In 2022 alone, Amazon paid $14 million to union-busting law firms. And they still have refused to bargain a contract with Staten Island workers who won their election 4 years ago.
If you’re shopping on Amazon―for Prime Day, Back to School, early holiday shopping, or anything else, chip in $10 to support the workers who make sure your package gets to you.
