John,
Billionaires like Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos want us feeling isolated and powerless.
They hate unions because unions bring people together and help them flex their power. They’ve got money, but we’ve got people.
It’s been more than 3 years since workers in Staten Island became the first to win a union election in the face of Amazon’s intimidation tactics. Later filings show that Bezos spent millions on union-busting firms―but he failed to stop workers from unionizing, because they stood together. After all this time, Amazon has illegally refused to come to the table and hold a single bargaining session.
The holiday rush is brutal for workers in Amazon warehouses. Can you send a message to Amazon’s Board of Directors urging them to come to the table and negotiate on a fair contract with the union now?
Amazon is a $2.3 trillion corporation. It made over $36 billion in profits last year alone. Its founder is the 2nd richest man on Earth. Yet, Amazon treats its workers as disposable.
A Senate Committee report released by Bernie Sanders found that Amazon warehouses are 30% more dangerous than the industry average. And 25% of Amazon warehouse workers make so little that they qualify for SNAP nutrition assistance!
Jeff Bezos rented an Italian city for his wedding this year. He sent Katy Perry to space in his personal rocket ship. He can afford to pay workers enough that they can eat.
Tell Amazon: Come to the table and negotiate a fair contract with Amazon Labor Union now!
In solidarity,
