The workers demand that AWS drop Project Nimbus immediately. #NoTechForApartheid #MakeAmazonPay

No multi-billion dollar company should have its essential workers worried about where they will sleep at night. Teamsters across the logistics industry are winning record contracts that lock in fair pay and protections. Now it’s our turn! Amazon workers are taking our power back.

✅ Millionaire CEO
❌ Workers paid a living wage

Amazon workers are fed up with struggling to get by while Amazon rakes in profit. That’s why we are joining together to organize for the pay we deserve.

The surest sign Amazon workers definitely need a union is seeing how hard Amazon works to convince you that you don't need one.

'We have an injury crisis and we’re being watched and you feel like you’re in prison,' says Wendy Taylor, an Amazon STL8 worker with Missouri Workers Center.

“We have an injury crisis and we’re being watched and you feel like you’re in prison. We just want people to know we have a right to organize, the right to form a union and the right to have a safer work environment.”
