Helping workers move forward with and support Jobs With Justice.

Dear John,

 

Greedy and power-hungry CEOs too often put profits over the well-being of their workers. We've seen this demonstrated repeatedly, as bad bosses instill fear in their workers, casting them as easily replaceable while paying low wages and placing workers in unsafe and often dangerous conditions on the job.

 

It's why Jobs With Justice exists. We stand up to any billionaire who exploits our families, friends, and communities. Please help us build and sustain these critical fights by making a donation of $5 today!

 

As we wrap up the year, we want to introduce you to some of the worst actors and ask you to please DONATE TODAY to help us continue our campaigns into 2022 and beyond.

 

Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy, Amazon

As Amazon’s profits increase, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy continues to follow in Jeff Bezos’s footsteps by continuing the practice of worker exploitation. Even during tragedies, like the December 10 tornado, which eviscerated an Amazon fulfillment center in Edwardsville, IL. Workers were instructed not to leave and to continue working. Six workers died. We remain committed to working with our partners to help the workers affected by this tragedy. We will continue our groundbreaking campaigns to educate the public and organize communities to stand up to the damage Amazon is causing our communities and the environment.

Howard Schultz, Starbucks

When Starbucks baristas in Buffalo, NY started organizing to fight for better wages, benefits, and health protections, they were met with an onslaught of anti-union messaging and scare tactics from former CEO Howard Schultz and other company executives. Jobs With Justice affiliate in Buffalo, the Coalition for Economic Justice, pounded the pavement with community members and customers to show solidarity with the baristas. And we celebrated this December when one of the Starbucks locations voted to form a union!

Sonoma County California Winery Owners

Wildfires continue to ravage California, decimate their surroundings, and create a national pollution crisis. Meanwhile, winery and vineyard workers are still required to go to work without proper health and safety protections just so their employer can maximize profit. In Sonoma County, California, North Bay Jobs With Justice provides these farmworkers with critical health equipment while helping organize events to educate the community around the harm these wineries are causing. Jobs With Justice will continue to support these workers as they demand a safe, dignified life.

YOUR support made it possible to hold these bad actors accountable, and we’re asking you to chip in $5 to help us continue to hold them accountable into 2022. We are working on creating a world where everyone has access to decent wages, the right to form a union, and dignity in the workplace. Your donation today will go towards us creating that world, and your contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar thanks to our generous friends at Ullico Inc. They are only matching the first $15,000 of donations, so don’t miss your chance to DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!

 

In Solidarity,
