[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

This past Friday, the National Labor Relations Board announced that the
Amazon workers of Bessemer, Alabama voted against joining the Retail,
Wholesale and Department Store Union. 

The unfortunate truth is that our capitalist society has been built on
inhumanity and profit-driven decisions at the expense of the health and
safety of workers. And we know that Amazon used its massively inflated
budget to invest in union-busting tactics to dissuade workers from coming
together.

please stand in solidarity with these
essential workers in their fight for the right to organize and bring
critical improvements to the workplace by making a donation to the
Southern Worker's Assembly so they can support this movement for change.

Last month, I joined Reps. Cori Bush, Andy Levin, Terri Sewell, and Nikema
Williams in Bessemer, Alabama to stand in solidarity with the Amazon
workers who are still fighting for a voice and better conditions in their
workplace.

Workers have been denied rest and bathroom breaks and have suffered
serious injury due to ruthless timed productivity quotas. When workers at
the Bessemer Amazon facility contracted COVID-19, the company was more
focused on getting workers back on the floor than the safety and health of
their employees. Meanwhile, Amazon's profits have almost doubled since the
start of the pandemic.

We know that Amazon went to great lengths to dissuade workers from
unionizing because they rely on endless exploitation and abuse of its
labor force — and a successful union would be a threat to its business
model. Amazon has created a plantation-style work environment that's
abusive. This needs to end; we need employers and leadership to treat
workers like human beings, not disposable robots.

Our fight for racial and economic justice is not over,
John. Our work to bring
critical protections such as hazard pay, a livable wage, health care, and
more to workers all across the country continues on. [ [link removed] ]If you're with us
in this fight, please show support for these Alabama Amazon workers and
make a contribution to the Southern Workers Assembly so they can continue
fighting and advocating for this much-needed change.

Thank you for fighting with me,

Jamaal Bowman
