BIG NEWS: Whole Foods workers in Philly just voted 130 to 100 to unionize with the UFCW, per NLRB, becoming of the first of the Amazon-owned chain's 500+ locations to do so.
KSBD Teamsters will not be kept down by ridiculous Orwellian word games. Wrap it in as much HR-speak as you want, taking Unpaid Time for striking amounts to withholding of benefits and attendance-related discipline—plainly illegal under the NLRA.
We will hold #Amazon to account!

Very often we hear about @Amazon’s latest robot in its warehouses, but the reality is Amazon relies on 1.5 million human workers. And, Amazon's warehouses with robots have higher injury rates than those without. #AmazonHurts
Delivering packages in 24 hours is not a simple task and it requires a lot of people. Workers are organizing around the world to hold Amazon accountable and to demand better working conditions.
In 2022, Amazon’s worker injury rate was reportedly 70% higher than the rate at non-Amazon warehouses. Its serious injury rate was more than double the rate at non-Amazon warehouses.
2022 was MacDougall's last year on the job as Amazon's VP of Workplace Health and Safety.
Absolutely not. Amazon executives who are responsible for the injury crisis at the corporation have no business regulating health and safety for workers in our country.

For more than a decade, workers' rights have been the center of our work, and we have made significant progress. However, with Trump returning to office, we know that the deck is even further stacked against workers fighting for change.
We are taking precautions, making plans and preparing for 2025. We know workers rights will be under attack.
Our worker relief fund supports workers who are subjected to workplace retaliation for organizing and speaking out.
