Amazon's soulless attendance policies, (or perhaps strategic use of them for union busting purposes) heap more chaos on workers during these apocalyptic times. A pandemic, fires, and now Angela and her family have a job loss to deal with. Please help!

Clarence was someone who provided leadership and a voice of reason at DSF4. Now they've retroactively retracted his authorization for leave and fired him. This is an anti union purge. Sign his petition and help him get his job back!

#Solidarity to all Amazon workers in Bessemer, AL that begin voting today to form their union!

It's time workers used their collective power to fight back against #Amazon's greed and improve working conditions. This is the first step to changing workers' lives for the better. ✊

@AmazonArea there’s been a gas leak at the DSF4 warehouse for the past 2 days/nights that’s been making associates nauseous & dizzy but they claimed maintenance deemed it “safe” still to keep operations going. Multiple shifts have associates experiencing the same symptoms.
