| 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.
Use Twitter? Here's a tweet for you!
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. –Irene, along with Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jen, Lindsay, and Scottie (and the rest of the Courage team)
