A National Movement To Organize Amazon Takes Off
portside.org
The Teamsters are spinning off momentum from recent organizing fights to new battle fronts across Amazon’s logistics chain. A group of 100 warehouse workers at DCK6, an Amazon delivery station in San Francisco, marched on company managers October 2 demanding voluntary recognition rather than filing for a National Labor Relations Board-supervised election.

    It is my firm belief that every non-executive position in this country should be unionized.

    You have a large corporation with 20,000 employees? They should be unionized.
    You have a small business with two employees? They should be unionized.

      Honestly, the only reason I remembered Prime Day last week was because an order I’d placed for something was scheduled to arrive then. (The only reason I ordered the thing from Amazon was because it was the only place to get it. I much prefer ordering from Best Buy and using their store pickup.)

    Quitting Amazon was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I started seeing my life as a single, one chance experience without the plague of needing to constantly surround myself with ever changing gadgets.

    Quitting Amazon alone didn’t do that for me, but it was a good start.

      At first I thought you meant quitting your Amazon job, not quitting from shopping there lol

      Inspirational either way
