The LUP, organizers of this week's boycott, would like to publicly confirm we have had no contact with RWDSU. Our objections to Amazon's abysmal labor practices are our own. We welcome their disavowal of our activities and fully intend to continue spreading the word through the end of the week.

Amazon warehouse workers in Alabama file to hold unionization vote

Workers at a new Amazon facility in Bessemer, Ala., filed a notice with the National Labor Relations Board to hold a union election at a time when the company's warehouse employees around the world have raised concerns about the spread of the coronavirus.

“To file the NLRB notice, the union needed to have cards authorizing the RWDSU to represent workers in collective bargaining signed by at least 30 percent of the proposed negotiating unit, said Rebecca Givan, a labor studies professor at Rutgers University. But she noted that very few unions would file for a union vote without “a very strong majority” of cards signed, or support at the Alabama warehouse from well over 750 workers.

And it’s particularly notable that the effort is in Alabama, a state that is seen as hostile to organized labor, Givan said.

“That this is happening in a deeply anti-union state is really bold,” Givan said.

Amazon can contest the size and composition of the proposed bargaining unit. And it can raise questions over the authorization cards. Givan anticipates Amazon will use all the tools at its disposal to beat back the union drive.”

The union difference… There is no reason why there is such a huge pay discrepancy between people who perform the same job day in and day out. The only difference is at UPS, we have a union negotiated contract with guaranteed raises, a grievance procedure to handle contract violations and discipline issues, healthcare at no cost, a defined pension and a voice in the workplace. There are a lot of people who have a distorted perception as it pertains to unions in the workplace and how we operate. The company is there to protect its own interests and the union is there to ensure that members are treated justly and fairly and are compensated correctly for their work. Amazon has been in the press for its union busting activities and abuses of employees. It’s clear that they don’t care about the safety of their employees or the public. It truly is about profit over people and that mentality needs to change.

It was a beautiful morning to stand with PALF and help show Tucson's support for unionization of Amazon workers. If you don't think warehouse workers should be unionized, read "Death of a Warehouse Worker," an investigative report in the Huffington Post a few years ago. #solidarity #unionizeamazon #tucson @palf_aflcio @ld9dems @ld9democrats (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqLlPyB0RRVDkGbz8Kx2IO5QRgShElzjWONv80/?igshid=yoxj5uz5i2nl
