@davehclark I'm an Amazon worker in Kentucky, tornado hit 2 miles from my house and I physically couldn't get to work for my shift. The ERC team told me that they had no record of tornadoes in Kentucky and couldn't help me with not getting attendance time reduced for today
Kellogg's wants to break their strike by hiring 1400 permanent workers, instead of negotiating with their striking workers in good faith. Don't let them do it! Show your solidarity with the workers and boycott these brands. https://t.co/CDQlMF3q55
@classicallyabby Not all women are as impressionable as you. We’re very capable of making our own choices without “buying into the market…” Do these thoughts come from you or your husband first?
Apparently Amazon is telling its employees the workers at the Edwardsville warehouse had “no warning” and the tornado “must have dropped right on top of them” out of nowhere. Infuriating.
Emergency response officials in the IL suburbs of St Louis say "50 to 100" Amazon workers are trapped under rubble or inside a mammoth Amazon warehouse/fulfillment center in Edwardsville, IL after walls collapsed following a tornado.
☕ In 2021, when workers at three separate Starbucks locations in and around Buffalo NY, started organizing to unionize, company executives swooped in with anti-union efforts. Workers are fighting for higher wages as Starbucks claims record profits in 2021.
📦 In 2019, Amazon withheld a third of its driver’s tips before being ordered to pay the $61.4 million back in a federal lawsuit. Warehouse workers across the country have experienced grueling working conditions that include: too few bathroom breaks, & unsafe working conditions.
🍟 In 2018, McDonald’s workers walked off the job for what would be the first of many multi-state strikes to demand an end to rampant sexual harassment. Despite McDonald’s promises, they have failed to adequately address continued sexual violence at their stores.
[THREAD] Bah, Humbug! Behind every billionaire hoarding wealth are underpaid and exploited workers.
Let’s explore some issues of workers past, present and future.
Magically found $768,000,000,000 for a defense budget, but the same folks can't fully fund the $45- $60 billion needed to remove lead service lines in our country.
