Friend,
This is outrageous: After 84 Amazon drivers walked off the job last week
to demand better working conditions, the multibillion dollar corporation
is fighting back -- by saying that the drivers don't work for Amazon.
Even though Amazon determines everything from the van the deliveries are
made in to the clothes the drivers wear, the corporation is trying to pull
a bait and switch by saying that because the drivers are contractors,
Amazon isn't responsible for improving their working conditions. The
corporation is even asking news outlets like Motherboard to change their
reporting to stop calling the workers "Amazon drivers."(1)
You can stop Amazon's underhanded tactics by leveraging your social media
circle to help us get the truth out.
Have a Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp account? Here's a post you can
customize and share.
Amazon's drivers are being subjected to scorching hot vans, limited water,
and bathroom breaks, all while being paid poverty wages. And now, Amazon
has the audacity to claim these drivers don't work for them. It's time to
stand with these hardworking drivers and share their story far and wide.
Help put an end to Amazon's abusive working conditions by sharing now!

Amazon's drivers are sweltering in hot vans with limited water and no
bathroom breaks. And yet, the corporation denies they even work for
Amazon! Share their story to put an end to Amazon's abusive working

Amazon is about to severely cut the drivers' hours, threatening their
livelihoods, in retaliation for the strike.(2) Yet they are claiming that
the drivers don't work for the company? Please.
We need to stand for the Amazon drivers against the corporations' abuses.
Please share today.
Thank you for joining the fight.
