BREAKING: RWDSU says that Amazon illegally interfered in the #BAmazonUnion vote in Bessemer, and the union will be filing unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB. “We won’t rest until workers' voices are heard fairly under the law.” - Stuart Appelbaum

The big takeaway from the Amazon loss should be that the playing field is tilted heavily against unions when facing anti-union employers. Amazon had access to its workers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while U.S. law let Amazon bar union organizers from entering the warehouse

The heroic Amazon workers in Bessemer have made history, helping pave the path toward workplace justice for all.

Workers from around the world still be standing with BAmazonUnion when they get that victory!

It shouldn’t take an act of courage to join a union. But how BAmazonUnion workers stood up to Amazon intimidation was courageous. It was historical. We’re with RWDSU as they challenge those illegal union-busting tactics. This isn’t the end, instead a powerful beginning. #1u

The fight has only just begun. ✊✊ #UnionizeAmazon

We stand with RWDSU and workers everywhere.

BREAKING: Amazon workers revealed new evidence of Amazon's illegal union-busting—including managers passing out coupons for 15 extra minutes of break time—at an NLRB hearing today. Here's what Darryl Richardson, an Amazon warehouse worker in Alabama, told the NLRB:

The #BAmazonUnion organizers and multiple journalists have spent weeks trying to find out who held the keys to the mailbox Amazon installed in front of their warehouse (in full view of security cameras). Looks like we’ve finally got our answer—and color me surprised to see this:

Getting closer... And we're just getting started

.RWDSU Local 1102 RWDSU/UFCW members out in full force today to say: #MakeAmazonPay! We're joining workers around the world in demanding that Amazon stop its union-busting tactics and treat workers with the dignity and respect they deserve! #1u

"We would rather nobody buy any Frito-Lay products, Fritos, Doritos, Tostitos, Funyuns, Cheetos, all those, while we're on strike. We make all of those in Topeka, Kansas. We also would rather nobody buys PepsiCo products while we're on the line." vice.com/en/article/pkb…
