This morning workers at Amazon’s largest delivery center on the west coast, DJT6 in Riverside, California, walked off the job in protest of the $2 trillion company refusing to recognize their union. The workers’ demonstration grew throughout the day as community members joined the picket.
Shawn Fain just went live talking about wanting to negotiate a new North American trade deal with a guaranteed minimum wage and labor protections for manufacturing jobs in Canada, the U.S., AND Mexico so that workers are never pitted against each other.
The thing is that learning a craft, the practicing, the failing, the self-loathing & suffering, the pride and sense of accomplishment in finally mastering your art, that's where life is lived. That is the human experience. AI will flatten that into binary code if we let it.

🚨We won our union at Amazon and we are holding this company’s feet to the fire until we get the Teamsters Union contract we deserve.
🫵If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, now is the moment to join the fight for the wages and respect that we need.
Amazon treats workers like they’re disposable with the trillion-dollar company regularly churning through hundreds of thousands of workers.
Amazon workers are unionizing with the Teamsters to ensure one of the world’s wealthiest corporations provides stable, safe careers—not dangerous, part-time jobs.

Today’s @NLRB decision is a huge win for workers. Captive audience meetings have no place in a fair workplace.
This ruling restores the freedom workers deserve to make their own choices about union representation without fear or intimidation.
if you like the work i do, consider getting yourself or someone you love an original work of art. If you do soon, i can have it to you well before the holidays and winter solstice
The Amazon Teamsters movement grows bigger and stronger every day and will not be stopped.
Today, hundreds of drivers at Amazon’s DAX5 facility in Industry, Calif., joined the thousands of Amazon workers nationwide who’ve recently joined the Teamsters.
This is our moment to win what all Amazon workers deserve, and the Amazon Teamsters movement will win.
BREAKING: 🚨 Hundreds of Amazon drivers at the trillion-dollar company’s DAX5 facility in Industry, Calif., have joined the Teamsters and are demanding that Amazon recognize their union and negotiate a Teamsters contract 🚨
This is the third Amazon facility in California since October where workers have courageously gone public to join the Teamsters.
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense that once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
