Proud of the brave workers of ALB1 regardless of todays results taking on a Trillion dollar company can never be a loss for workers. We will continue to empower all workers to give them the right to unionize. You miss 100% of the shots you donât take! W.G. #AlllaborWinter âđ˝

Weâve seen this character lurking around KSBD recently too! Trying to divide us by race implying to our coworkers that Latinos donât join walkouts. IE AWU has been confronting union-busters like Juan head on, making sure our coworkers stay woke to their hidden agenda!
Hi everyone. This is Juan Cruz, a union buster. He tries to hide his name and lie about who he is to workers at Amazon. He is very mad about this picture too, please help us spread it around because once a union buster is exposed, they canât do their job. Thank you đ #amazon

During our election, Amazon argued we donât need a union because the company has an âopen door policyâ that associates can use to address concerns. Hundreds of workers used it at once, and we were all threatened and suspended.

After working at Amazonâs RDU1 distribution center in North Carolina for two years, former employee Albert Elliott was terminated in a suspected act of retaliation for his organizing efforts.

We walked out to demand better working conditions at KSBD. @Amazon responded w/more retaliation.
We're giving Amazon until Oct 10 to meet our demands:
â
Living Wage
â
Safety on the Job
â
No Retaliation
â°COUNTDOWN STARTS TODAYâ°

ALB1 has closed for the day. While this is the correct response to a fire and weâre glad workers will be given time off until itâs safe to return, itâs simultaneously infuriating that nearly 100 workers were suspended at JFK8 for demanding the same thing two days ago. @OSHA_DOL

Workers in the USA have the right to refuse to work in unsafe conditions. You have to KNOW your rights to DEFEND your rights, bc bosses obviously canât be trusted to follow the law đ§ľ

My heart goes out to all the ALB1 @amazon workers in Schodack, NY I hope and pray every worker was evacuated safelyđđžThis is the third facility to catch on fire. Weâll be checking on workers at JFK8, ALB1, and HSV1 to ensure their safety! Solidarity

Weâve received word from ALB1 workers that the Schodack warehouse is currently on fire. We are urging all of our brothers and sisters to be safe and we will report updates as we receive them.

Amazon's response to our genuine concerns has been despicable and full of lies. At this time, management is circulating that as many as 80 workers who were involved in the work stoppage were suspended. That is not, as their PR team claims, a "handful."
Monday night there was a fire at Amazon JFK8 where workers were forced to go through turnstiles and âbadge outâ instead of using the fire exits that were only 100ft away.
They must reinstate the 50 workers they suspended who refused to work in these conditions.

Amazon suspends 50 workers for stopping work during a fire emergency, Starbucks fires their ~120th union leader for wearing a pin, Apple busts a union in NYC.
CEOs are openly running roughshod over federally-protected rights to form unions.
Who's going to stop them?

Once again my brothers and sisters we the people warn Amazon and send a message to other modern day slave machines disguised as companies that we are done with being used, abused and confused when it comes to our safety #staystrong #GenerationU #powerinnumbers

THIS is what community looks like. Workers at JFK8 demanded to be sent home with PAY. Enough is enough itâs time for amazon to put safety over profits and also itâs time for @amazon to stop stalling and negotiate a better contract with @amazonlabor
