10,000 workers at 10 Amazon facilities are organized with the Teamster. So far 8 facilities have announced strike authorizations and it looks like all ten might do it. Hopefully it’s the start of something massive.

Reposted from More Perfect Union

BREAKING: Amazon drivers at a major Atlanta facility have voted unanimously to authorize a strike.

They join @teamsters.bsky.social in NYC, Illinois, and California in authorizing strikes at Amazon in the lead up to Christmas — the company's busiest days.

Wow

Please consider donating and promoting the strike fund! They’re standing up against one of the world’s largest and most powerful organizations in the world!

Let’s show them that we have their backs!

I’m a Teamster and I’m all in🤔😁.I don’t work for Amazon though,because I refuse to urinate in a bottle while trying to make deliveries because I can’t stop due to deliveries needing to be delivered in a timely manner 🤔.Yes,it’s true,and yes no one wants to talk about it.Bezos has enough money to fix

Hopefully we see a lot more strikes in the next couple of years. As a working trades person, we need to take back our rights.

random question: is it kosher to wear merch for unions you aren’t a member of?

artisanrox.bsky.social•67 days ago

really difficult to take Teamsters seriously as the vast majority support the very Administration that....hates the existence of workers having benefits.

That was just the equivalent of a Facebook poll, don't be so shortsighted

guildmastergrouch.bsky.social•67 days ago

i agree with you, but even an idiot conservative worker is still a worker. if unions try to exclude them, unions won't exist.

artisanrox.bsky.social•66 days ago

I'm in now way saying exclude them.

I'm saying they can't get what they want electing people that RUN ON the opposite of what they want.

Deep cognitive dissonance.

join the strike as a consumer!! no shopping at amazon this holiday season

On the contrary! Only boycott if the strikers ask for it; often it's better for customers to keep purchasing and the company to be underemployed and unable to meet demand, and therefore forced to deal with the strikers and offer better working conditions.
