The Labor Force is evenly splitting donations on this page with Amazon Labor Union. Can you chip in?
Over two years ago, workers at Amazon warehouse JFK8 in New York made history when they won their union election―the first time Amazon workers had ever unionized. It was a moment that reverberated throughout the labor movement: if Amazon workers can unionize, what else is possible?
Then Amazon, in classic Amazon fashion, tried to stamp out the newly formed Amazon Labor Union by challenging the union election itself. Over and over, Amazon filed frivolous complaint after frivolous complaint, hoping that the delays would sap workers’ resolve. It didn’t work.
After a protracted legal battle, the National Labor Relations Board recently ruled that ALU’s victory stands. Amazon is out of appeals, and Amazon workers at JFK8 are done waiting. It’s time for Amazon to come to the bargaining table.
After two years of legal battles, Amazon Labor Union is NLRB-certified and ready to negotiate. But those legal battles drained ALU’s finances. As we force Amazon to the bargaining table, can you donate to show the power of our movement?
