๐จ BREAKING: The Teamsters Union has launched the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. ๐จ
Amazon has forced this strike by refusing to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.
Now, Amazon Teamsters at facilities across the country will be striking, including primary picket lines at hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide.
@MikeNellis This week has had a lot of pretty hard days for us, Mike. You just laid off a slew of union workers on your team. Did you consider that before tweeting this?
Fran Drescher, President of SAG-AFTRA, in her stunning strike announcement: โIf we donโt stand tall right now, we are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines.โ
Weโre extremely concerned about generative AI entering the progressive political space.
Our team and our peers in the industry show up to work every day because we believe in the causes weโre fighting for, and tools like this are antithetical to that belief.
AI for political fundraising emails is fundamentally a horrible idea.
It's anti-worker and anti-progressive to use the work of skilled practitioners to train an AI model that will eventually kill their jobs.

For the past month we've engaged management in decision and effects bargaining over their proposed reorganization and layoffs on the technical side of @ActBlue, and we are proud to have won both a reduction in the number of roles to be eliminated as well as a recall provision.
very sad to share this past week I was impacted by layoffs in the progressive space. I'm extremely proud of the work I've done, and you can check it out here: https://t.co/iLe6n6dgYk โจ

As we navigate the days ahead, the 26 remaining members of our Unit are more unified than ever and are committed to standing together to make Middle Seat the best place it can possibly be for our workers moving forward.
We are disappointed that a permanent reduction in force was deemed necessary by the leadership of Middle Seat despite the alternative proposals we presented. And we are heartbroken to lose so many of our comrades โ along with their talent, their passion, and their friendship.
These awards are well-deserved recognition of the talent, skill, and strategy of the workers of Middle Seat. Weโre so proud of all the members of our Unit โ our labor is the backbone of this agency and we're honored by the recognition.
