Abuse of power is often from implicit bias. Discrimination law stopped helping in the 80s when courts moved from impact to intent, a high threshold. Fill out this survey to help stop this epidemic:

Chris Smalls is a former Amazon warehouse worker who was wrongfully fired when he organized a walkout to protest inadequate COVID-19 safety measures. Thank you for speaking out, @Shut_downAmazon: https://t.co/MZFU71YLCD
Crises are also junctures where things can change dramatically, and they must. Workers need more power, more respect and more protection from abuse at work (including being subjected to COVID-19 for no reason)
Buy a #NotDyingForWork face mask to send a message to essential workers.
For every sold, TeePublic will donate 1 medical grade mask to Direct Relief. Proceeds go to Nat'l Workplace Bullying Coalition in part for worker relief funds. @Shut_downAmazon

NEW EPISODE! I interviewed former Amazon warehouse supervisor Chris Smalls (who was on 60 Minutes last night) about requests he made to keep workers safe, why he REALLY got fired, and how he's building a labor movement to say enough with abuse of power: https://t.co/p9lLGyq3w5
