"The world has radically changed over the past four-plus decades. Unions haven’t. Or at least they haven’t changed nearly enough to match what they’re up against. In this context, unionizing Amazon – iconic in status and fanatically anti-union – stands as a definitive challenge for this generation of trade unionists. The catch-22 is that while unionizing Amazon holds out the promise of renewing labour, bringing Amazon to heel demands an already revived labour movement in place.

The only way around this lies in moving to transform labour through the process of unionizing Amazon. With the first strike of Amazon (December 19 to 24, 2024, seven locations in the US) now behind us, it seems especially important to have the widest discussions about its outcome and relationship to reviving labour. What went right in the strike? What went wrong? What might we collectively learn and incorporate for ‘next time’?"

On the recent Amazon strike:

"How extensive was the impact on production? In my reporting for In These Times, I was able to answer the question: some dips in volume, but not enough to exact a cost on Amazon’s promise of timely delivery. These walkouts did reveal new leaders and stiffen the spines of existing ones, though."

Labor Notes · Amazon Strike by the NumbersAn estimated 600 Amazon workers went on a short strike or participated in pickets from December 19 to Christmas Eve across eight warehouse locations, from Queens to San Francisco. The coordinated mobilization was an opening salvo to Amazon, and a test of capacity for the Teamsters’ growing national network.

"Dec 28, 2024
Jordan Chariton talked with Striking Amazon Workers during the Holidays at the Staten Island warehouse, where they reveal not only the terrible working conditions and pay they have to endure, but retaliation against workers for trying to fight for basic living wages and safe working environments."

As our "benevolent capitalist" icons literally ate face in the year of our lord 2025, maybe we could look to the past and seriously bump up the labour movement. I'm looking at you PMC Democrats. Time to remember what made the party in the first place. And, you know, who gave things like weekends. People died for that sh1t. It's time to remember who we really are. Taking a closer look at current events:

@dbattistella Interesting times. Luigi Mangione prosecution, Amazon workers arrests... For the average unpoliticized people , this will open some eyes, and shed some lights on what is obvious once you saw it and know where to watch.

i think we need to more vocally recognize that while most unions are better than no unions, the teamsters national is not a fighting union. the amazon workers will end up fighting their employer and their union for anything worthwhile in this movement, and need our support, the support of fellow workers, more than anything.
