Let's go workers!!!

Solidarity... truly is a beautiful thing.

Won't someone please think about poor deprived Bezos?

Yes! Without unions, eorkers are powerless against any retail giant. This one even more so. Amazon UnionizeAmazon

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯

IndivisibleIL I support them all the way. I worked at Whole Foods and the minute Amazon bought Whole Foods, they worked us like dogs and expected us to be robots while taking away benefits and asking us to donate to other employees for their emergency time off needs. 10/10 do not recommend

Bezos can afford it the cheap bastard.

Union busters come in. Separate the workers into small groups by ethnicity and race. They start to divide and conquer by turning employees against each other. Then they threaten them 8 hours a day as well as bribe them with donuts and breakfast. I hope they are ready.

Hope the employees are successful.

Wow that is huge, once one votes the union in how many other warehouses will follow.

Boycott Amazon.

GOOD!!!!

UNION YES!!!

Oh, gawd. The lazy bastards have risen. Rather than get an education and a clue to get ahead, they form a union. Some people work hard and go to school to get ahead. Deadbeats form a union and try to F the dog where possible.

What’s the strongest company in the US that’s unionized?

Those jobs will be going away when Amazon decides it doesn’t need that warehouse next year

Sell

Amazon Warehouse Workers In Alabama Petition To Unionize

It's about time someone stood up to Bezos!

Good! I hope they vote it in.

The HR Managers at that location/region/district are going to get fired!

when things are going great and your nation’s media isn’t controlled by oligarchs:

Good luck workers !

Jeff Bezos needs to do whatever the hell he can to keep those employeees happy that rich fucker. Those people bust their ass in factories for him while he cheats on his wife and charges third parties such high royalties that they can hardly make anything selling on his platform.

In other news amazon warehouse in Alabama is now hiring with all positions available

You can only treat workers like second class citizens for so long. JeffBezos got extremely rich off the backs on cheap labor.

I hope the employees vote for the union. Collective bargaining will raise wages, increase benefits, and improve conditions.

Dig it.

Great job, good luck brothers and sisters

Bravo

Welp. That fulfilment center is history..

UnionStrong

Good. Fuck Amazon!

Growing calls to investigate Wuhan Institute of Virology as a source of SARS-CoV-2 have led to increased scrutiny of EcoHealth Alliance. Its members played an early role in framing questions about possible lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 as “crackpot theories that need to be addressed.”

Wow!!! I just stumbled upon this beautiful music video on YouTube by one young man named Laycon... I think you may like it too... Check it out ❤️❤️❤️ Laycon - HipHop feat. Deshinor (Official Video) via YouTube HipHopVideo

The so called evidence provided so far for a natural origin of COVID-19 comes from a single highly biased study in Nature, the Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2. At least two authors are getting money from China. One is honored by CCP. The virus was made & leaked from a PLA lab.

Wondering how these workers voted...

Hilarious. Will Bezos release a go on squad to squash this?

Good for them. It’s going on to long now that the select few are getting rich while 1 in 6 Americans describe their children as hungry. People working hard for small buck while others have so much money they don’t know what to do with it

Bad news for Amazon but good news for the workers. I have heard that the workers don't have the best working conditions. They deserve better.

Good for them.

They don't need a union. They need something else.

Good

Multiple Amazon workers hospitalized, warehouse evacuated after exposure to 'unknown substance'Firefighters evacuated 150 employees from the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Eastvale, California with six sent to area hospitals for treatment. Unknown to who? The dealer or the workers? Doing drugs on the job. I don't blame them. I heard they have poor working conditions. Not even bathroom breaks. Maybe one.🤔 Ahh. I bet the unknown substance was basic human decency, which Amazon has never seen. Spoiler alert: it was Molly
