, is timed to coincide with Black Friday, a key shopping day for Amazon and other retailers.
Labor actions are also planned at Whole Foods stores, which Amazon owns, and other locations in Bessemer, Alabama; Columbia, Maryland; Detroit, Michigan; Durham, North Carolina; Garner, North Carolina; Joliet, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Portland, Oregon; and Washington, D.C. "On Black Friday, in what has already been named #MakeAmazonPay day, unions, civil society and progressive elected officials will stand shoulder to shoulder in a massive global day of action to denounce Amazon's despicable multimillion dollar campaigns to kill worker-lead union efforts," said Christy Hoffman, general secretary of UNI Global Union, a group spearheading the protests, said in a statement.
"The workers are under a lot of pressure with these algorithms," she said."It doesn't differentiate between workers, whether they are old or have limited mobility. Workers stay awake at night thinking only of their productivity stats.", according to the Strategic Organizing Center, a coalition of unions.
Fight for 15. Fight for 20. Fight for 25. These people will never be content lol

Seriously, this is what makes the capitalist system work so well. Let the workers and the owners fight it out. If the workers are that valuable they will win this round. If not, they will learn their true value. In either case, information improves, and with it, the economy

DAMMIT THE WALMART SHOOTER WAS A DEMOCRAT BLACK MALE AND NOT A WHITE MAGA HAT WEARING TRAILER PARK HILLBILLY LIKE WE TRIED TO BLAME IT ON 🤬
The whole “Workers stay awake at night thinking only of their productivity stats” is terrible. I hope they succeed with improving their working conditions. There’s a difference between people not wanting to work and people being subjected to ridiculous corporate metrics.
Ooh, that gonna hurt.
Good for them!
