Friend,

Today is Cyber Monday, and Amazon is offering big deals. You know what
else the mega corporation is doing?

Demanding long hours from delivery drivers whose vans can exceed 100
degrees.(1) Firing employees injured on the job.(2) Firing unionizing
drivers.(3) Forcing employees to work despite chronic back pain, potential
brain damage, torn ACLs, and more.(4)

mazon is treating its employees worse than ever before. But workers aren’t
giving up their fight for a living wage, humane working conditions, and
their right to form a union, and neither is Courage California. We are
leading the fight in California against Amazon’s corporate power and
shining a bright light on its abuses.

Amazon workers are twice as likely to be injured on the job as other
warehouse workers.(5) When they do get hurt, they’re too often silenced,
denied adequate medical care, and discarded by the world’s richest
corporation.(6)

The company has engaged in all manner of illegal intimidation tactics to
stop warehouse workers from unionizing(7,8) When they succeeded in Staten
Island, Amazon refused to recognize them.(9)

Just as horrific: how Amazon treats drivers they claim are “indirect
employees.” The company will terminate exclusive contracts with
third-party companies that hire their drivers rather than give them better
pay or conditions.(10)

And Amazon could get even worse under Donald Trump’s oligarch government
and his plans to roll back regulations and bust unions.

Courage California has partnered with Amazon workers, helping support
union drives and other efforts to raise awareness about the company’s
abuse of employees, including its current effort to stop California
drivers from unionizing.

We’ve called out and worked to curb Amazon’s monopoly status that enables
it to overcharge and mistreat customers and as well as its third-party
sellers. We need to be able to ramp up that work in 2025.

$5 to support the fight against the company’s egregious
abuse of power?

Thank you for being with us.

Courage team)
