  4. Amazon Labor Union Defends Immigrant Workers

    from #WorldOutlook
    March 12, 2025

    "The following is a statement by the #AmazonLaborUnion – International Brotherhood of Teamsters (#ALU-IBT) Local 1 defending immigrant workers from government and employer attacks. The #ALU represents #Amazon workers at the company’s giant JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York.

    The #ALU statement sets a good example of how the labor movement needs to treat immigrant workers: as fellow workers, as brothers and sisters.

    This question has become urgent as the Trump administration has escalated raids, arrests, and deportations of immigrants under the guise of expelling “foreign criminals” from the United States. "

  6. I've been thinking about cancelling my Amazon subscription for a while but hadn't yet done it because of the "convenience". It looks like this is what will finally tip the balance and force me to look for more local and ethical sources.

    Of course they say it's unrelated to the recent unionization of one of the Québec warehouses but can we believe them?

  11. Forcing Amazon to respect its workers
    Something you can do

    " As we reported earlier, Amazon workers at seven locations around the country organized a strike timed for the holidays to try to force Amazon to the bargaining table. These are workers who have already voted and decided to form a union, yet #Amazon is simply refusing to recognize them or meet with them. Public pressure and striking is the only route left for those workers.

    The #union has organized a petition calling on Amazon to recognize the union and enter into contract negotiations."
