Amazon KCVG Teamsters

We’re workers at Amazon’s biggest air hub, KCVG. We’re uniting with 1.3 million Teamsters — from UPS to DHL — to win fair wages, safety, and respect.

Amazon Teamsters made history last month with the largest strike ever at Amazon over the company’s unfair labor practices.

This is just the beginning. Are you ready to join the fight? https://t.co/8OyrpuKpOP

Many workers were required to use personal time to cover their absence during the recent snow storm. If it’s unsafe to drive it’s unsafe to work. Excuse all missed time, Amazon! 📢

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has grown by an astounding 75,000 new members under Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, a direct result of key investments in strategic organizing.

The Teamsters Union has organized more new members in the last 2 years than the previous administration had done in the last decade. In every state, we see workers fighting back, taking hold of their futures, and joining the Teamsters in record numbers.

Tristian Martinez, JFK8 workplace leader & worker-director of coalitions for ALU-IBT Local 1, has assumed a lead role in organizing our coveted breakroom blitzes!

Our ALU tabling events in the JFK8 breakrooms have been happening across all shifts to engage our co-workers! ✊

These are the workers that make Amazon billions each year. They deserve dignity on the job.

I’m proud to stand with KCVG Air Hub workers as they fight to unionize and join the @Teamsters.

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

Amazon's KCVG air hub is the trillion-dollar company's largest facility in the world. KCVG is at the heart of Amazon's corporate empire, and it's where the Teamsters will win.

As thousands of Amazon air hub workers at KCVG join the Teamsters Union and unionize the facility, it will pave the way for over a million Amazon workers nationwide to be a part of the unstoppable Teamsters movement to unionize Amazon.

Solidarity from KCVG to 3000+ Amazon workers in Coventry, England fighting for recognition!

[GMB Midlands @GMBMidlands]

Wow - Amazon workers across the globe are sending messages of support 👏

@amazonlabor @amazonteamsters @Teamsters 4/ We have more power together, uniting with all workers in the logistics industry. We look forward to developing deeper relationships with JFK8 workers, UPS and DHL workers, and all Teamsters across the country as we take on this billion dollar behemoth.

[Amazon KCVG Teamsters @AmazonUnionKCVG]

1/ Amazon KCVG Teamsters congratulate our co-workers at JFK8 on taking steps to unite Amazon workers under the Teamster banner. We must unite so that we can win $30/hour starting pay, safety at work, and benefits and rights for all workers enshrined in Teamster union contracts.

[Amazon KCVG Teamsters @AmazonUnionKCVG]

@amazonlabor @amazonteamsters @Teamsters 3/ By joining forces with over 1.3 million other Teamsters in the logistics industry, workers at KCVG and now JFK8 will be in a stronger position to take on the boss and build towards striking to win our demands and strong first contracts.

Amazon made $30B in profits last year, and they still won’t put AC in the vans. 30 workers took action last week, won AC, and now they’re trying to fire our brother Marcio. We rallied at the ramp building because we’ve got his back! #DontFireMarcio

[Amazon KCVG Teamsters @AmazonUnionKCVG]

New study found: "For many workers, a job at Amazon does not offer a clear pathway to economic security." AND working at Amazon causes pain & exhaustion that force workers to take unpaid time off.

This is why we're fighting for $30/hr starting wage, 180 hrs PAID time off & more.

[Dave Jamieson @jamieson]

University of Illinois Chicago out with a big survey of Amazon warehouse workers today. Over the last three months:
--53% experienced food insecurity
--48% experienced housing insecurity
--56% haven't been able to pay all their bills

We all have Marcio's back and our union, the 1.3 million strong Teamsters, have his back too. If you work on the ramp at KCVG, grab a Don’t Fire Marcio sticker on your way in on Wednesday, and meet us in the parking lot after work. Spread the word.

[Amazon KCVG Teamsters @AmazonUnionKCVG]

Amazon is trying to fire Marcio Rodriguez for organizing coworkers to demand working A/C in their vans on the blacktop ramp in 90 degree weather. But we won't back down. Amazon has MORE than enough money to provide us this basic human right. #DontFireMarcio

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Don’t tell us that Amazon can’t afford to give their workers a raise

[Michael Sainato @msainat1]

These Amazon workers don't get nearly enough attention for the courage they consistently exhibit in stepping up against one of the largest, most powerful corporations in the world

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Watch these Amazon workers take collective action👇this is what it’s all about

[Amazon KCVG Teamsters @AmazonUnionKCVG]

KCVG workers: Get involved in an action committee to build for big actions on Prime Days! https://t.co/G1iVs9HVuv

[Amazon KCVG Teamsters @AmazonUnionKCVG]

A group of KCVG workers asked Amazon HR when seasonal employees will be converted to full time and why we don’t get benefits.

Here’s what happened…
