More than 2 years ago, Amazon workers organized the first union to win an election at an Amazon warehouse in the United States. Since then, Amazon has fought tooth and nail, refusing to bargain a contract.
They’ve been fined by the National Labor Relations Board, and instead of coming to the table, they’re teaming up with Elon Musk in a lawsuit to get the NLRB declared unconstitutional.
Amazon is one of the wealthiest companies in the world. They can keep us in court for the rest of time. Amazon’s founder is the 2nd richest man in the world -- and he has fought organizing efforts tooth and nail.
Ultimately, Amazon only speaks one language, and that’s money. We’re ready to withhold our labor if they continue to ignore their legal obligation to come to the table.
That’s why, during Amazon’s busiest time of year, our union is preparing to participate in a nationally coordinated workplace action. As a part of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, we’re joining many other warehouses nationwide who have also unionized and demanded recognition from this company. Our message is clear: We can’t wait anymore.
Here’s where they need our support: The ALU is raising funds to support potential picket solidarity efforts: food, transportation, materials, language interpretation, medical support, cold weather supplies, worker retaliation defense funds, and legal support.
Split a contribution between the Amazon Labor Union and the National Campaign for Justice to fund the fight in support of the ALU and their fight for better wages, benefits, and working conditions now!
