Yesterday, we marched on our boss at Amazon’s KCVG air hub to demand an end to union busting.
We won’t be intimidated. We’re organizing for $30/hr starting pay, free on-site childcare, double pay for flex (overtime), professional translation, union representation & more.
COMING SOON...ON STRIKE! A video broadcast w/ Kshama Sawant & Bia Lacombe.
Workers are falling behind. We're repeatedly sold out & betrayed. We need our own media & orgs to take on the bosses, their political servants & win.
SUBSCRIBE & tune in Sept 14: https://t.co/dQLzOvMu6T
All workers win if UPS workers get $25/hr & a strong contract. Workers Strike Back firmly supports the fight for a NO vote.
A strong labor movement is built through robust debate around real issues, not by telling workers who we can or cannot listen to.
What a shameful betrayal of renters & workers! As a rank and file member of @UAW4121 I think we should revoke our union endorsement of @CMAndrewJLewis for voting no on rent control and @TeresaCMosqueda for not even bothering to show up, while 80% of our members are rent burdened
Democrats on @SeattleCouncil just voted against the rent control bill from @cmkshama. This is a slap in the face to 360k renters in Seattle who face skyrocketing housing costs.
@MLKLabor should revoke endorsement of @CMAndrewJLewis & all Democrats who just voted against workers.
SEATTLE: rank & file PCC workers in @UFCW3000 demand all “progressive” & “labor” Democrats vote YES on @cmkshama's strong rent control - this is a labor issue!
Join Maddy & Jordan to PACK CITY HALL for the final rent control vote TOMORROW 8/1 @ 2pm! https://t.co/cVhyH3lHRK
The housing movement, rent control and no eviction is escalating in a beautiful way! Decent housing is a human right! This is manifesting clearly in this struggle in Seattle!
Press Release: https://t.co/ugkQ5pd5pt
At public comment this Friday at 9:30am, we need to tell Dems to stand with renters, workers, and union members and vote YES on rent control with no delays and no corporate loopholes!

Outrageous that @TeresaCMosqueda wouldn’t give union members a straight answer when we asked if she would vote YES on strong rent control & urge other Dems to do the same. No more excuses! Rank and file union members need rent control NOW!
Seattle Workers Strike Back activists, working-class renters, and union members are fighting to win the strong citywide rent control legislation brought forward by socialist City Councilmember and WSB activist @cmkshama. https://t.co/LywzUbg0Lw
AMAZON SILENCES IMMIGRANT WORKER ORGANIZING FOR TRANSLATION AND A UNION
Yesterday, on Prime Day we spoke out on the lack of translation for immigrant workers and took our petition of 600+ and counting workers calling for translation services at the KCVG Air Hub in Northern KY
Workers Strike Back is going all out to support unionizing Amazon workers at the largest air hub in the country, known as KCVG, during our “Prime Time to Unionize Amazon” Week of Action, July 7-15!
