Don’t order, don’t cross the picket lines, support the strike and fuck Jeff Bezos in his wallet

Amazons workers across 20 countries, including the United States, are striking against what the organizing labor union calls anti-worker and anti-democratic practices.

A friend of mine was nearly driven to suicide working at an Amazon warehouse. Fuck Bezos.

I’m going to try very hard not to use Amazon!!!!!!

churchsed.bsky.social•198 days ago

…I use it to look at products, then I go to that company. Doesn’t arrive overnight, but am I in SUCH a hurry?!!

I just cancelled my Prime membership

Replying to boost this!

cvfpartnerships.bsky.social•207 days ago

It’s still a picket line even if it’s virtual. Just don’t cross it.

I NEVER order from Amazon because I hate their business practices. The ONE TIME that I give in and order from them by using some gift cards I've been sitting on, a strike is announced less than 24 hours later. :-P

heroesofcrash.bsky.social•207 days ago

That's not knocking Amazon employees, especially those willing to strike. They should ABSOLUTELY strike, because Amazon sucks and Bezos sucks. I just can't help but notice the irony of the timing.

In the name of all existence, Amen!

Will be supporting

Hold your horses and wait until the UNION calls for a boycott. The Union knows what they're doing and you should listen to them and follow their instructions.

<3 a Union worker who's organized strikes.

jongraywb.bsky.social•207 days ago

Is that what’s happening here according to the article?

kwertzy.bsky.social•207 days ago

I can't find anything per the union, one way or another. https://makeamazonpay.com/

jongraywb.bsky.social•207 days ago

Then should I delete this? Don’t wanna spread misinformation

kwertzy.bsky.social•207 days ago

Maybe a reblog with info to their site. It's good to boycott them anyway, cause they suck. I'm just not quite sure WHAT actionable demands are required from the public right now. It seems to be worker-centric at the moment. (I could be wrong!)

kwertzy.bsky.social•207 days ago

The problem with boycotts when they're not called for, is the bosses see the business drop and they say oh it's because the economy or xyz, and NOT the strikes, they can say there's a reason to lay people off that's not related to the strikes and have that be legal.

This is good news! I cancelled Amazon Prime after the election. I shop local small businesses - preferably with cash.

If we had an FTC with actual courage and commitment, Amazon has done well to create the necessary infrastructure for its own breakup away from its monopoly position.

And we wouldn’t be in this position.

professor-iago.bsky.social•207 days ago

I'm buying nothing today except a pre-order from Grubhub.

southkc816.bsky.social•207 days ago

No, keep ordering from Amazon this will break them

aritra.ovh•206 days ago

isn't their retail unprofitable?

mylifeasabook.bsky.social•207 days ago

Ditch Amazon. It is a vote for humanity and opportunity. Unions are THE ONLY check on corporate greed. They aren't always perfect--but they are a KEY ingredient in building back the middle class. Sacrifice convenience--it is worth it.

jackjrswisher.bsky.social•207 days ago

Fuck Jeff Bezos! Fuck him straight to nonexistent hell!
