Seattle DSA is holding another rally Saturday March 20th at 2 pm to support the Alabama Amazon warehouse workers who are fighting to form the nation's first union at an Amazon workplace! Join us for a meeting to plan the rally on the International Day of Solidarity with Alabama Amazon Workers. No experience needed.
If it succeeds, the unionization drive at the huge Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama will become the first union at an Amazon facility in the U.S. Nearly 5,800 workers, 70% of whom are Black, have begun standing up against the second largest company in the country and the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos. The workers are voting this month on forming a union, and a victory would inspire workers and people of color across the country to organize and fight back against the starvation wages and horrific working conditions that made the Amazon executive Jeff Bezos a multi-billionaire. A strong show of solidarity here at Amazon’s international headquarters will send a powerful message to Amazon workers in Alabama that we got their backs!
