Amazon Labor Union Defends Immigrant Workers

from #WorldOutlook
March 12, 2025

"The following is a statement by the #AmazonLaborUnion – International Brotherhood of Teamsters (#ALU-IBT) Local 1 defending immigrant workers from government and employer attacks. The #ALU represents #Amazon workers at the company’s giant JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York.

The #ALU statement sets a good example of how the labor movement needs to treat immigrant workers: as fellow workers, as brothers and sisters.

This question has become urgent as the Trump administration has escalated raids, arrests, and deportations of immigrants under the guise of expelling “foreign criminals” from the United States. "

Anbefales; lei den fantastiske filmen "Union" på nettet!
Dokumentarteamet følga arbeideran ved #Amazon sitt varehus i New York gjennom kampen (og seiern!) for å bli det første Amazon varehuset i USA kor arbeideran e fagorganisert. Den har alt; intriga og drama, nederlag, samhold og interessante personligheta.
Inntektan fra filmen deles me fagforeninga si streikekasse.

Forcing Amazon to respect its workers
Something you can do

" As we reported earlier, Amazon workers at seven locations around the country organized a strike timed for the holidays to try to force Amazon to the bargaining table. These are workers who have already voted and decided to form a union, yet #Amazon is simply refusing to recognize them or meet with them. Public pressure and striking is the only route left for those workers.

The #union has organized a petition calling on Amazon to recognize the union and enter into contract negotiations."

Union | Trailer | NYFF62

In 2022, workers at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, sick and tired of the lack of job stability from a company notorious for constant worker turnover, made national headlines after the newly formed Amazon Labor Union voted to unionize. For their absorbing documentary, Brett Story (The Hottest August) and Stephen Maing (Crime + Punishment) follow the day-to-day struggles of the ALU, made up of current and former employees, including charismatic and indefatigable leader Chris Smalls, and capture the events that led to this remarkable—but by no means conclusive—historical moment. The result is an immersive portrait that celebrates solidarity while acknowledging the difficult decisions and internal conflicts that make any collective action possible—especially when up against a corporate goliath in a post-Reagan era when worker organizations have become political anathema.
