John,
Every day, Amazon workers are risking their bodies to deliver packages to your door. And every day, Amazon’s corporate executives treat those injuries as nothing more than collateral damage, a "cost of doing business."
This is a disgrace. A $2.3 trillion corporation should not be allowed to grind up human lives in pursuit of 2-day shipping profits.
A Senate investigation confirmed that Amazon warehouses reported injury rates over 30% higher than the industry average last year. That’s not a rounding error. That’s a corporate strategy and it’s killing workers. Instead of fixing the crisis, Amazon spends billions on union-busting and PR spin while workers suffer life-altering injuries for Jeff Bezos’ next yacht payment.
But workers are not backing down. The Amazon Labor Union (ALU-IBT Local 1) has written the Safety Bill of Rights, a non-negotiable set of demands created by rank-and-file workers who have lived the brutal reality of Amazon’s warehouses.
Demand Amazon recognize the Safety Bill of Rights, or face an escalation that will disrupt business as usual.
This is about power. Amazon has it and workers are attempting to take it back. ALU-IBT Local 1 is building organizing committees, launching walkouts, and preparing for even bigger direct actions. This movement is growing, but it needs our support to keep the pressure on.
Amazon customers love convenience, but no package is worth a broken body or a ruined life. Workers deserve safety, dignity, and power not retaliation and abuse. That’s why we’re standing with ALU-IBT Local 1 and allies across the country to force Amazon to the bargaining table and make these demands law on the shop floor.
This is your moment to join the movement. Sign on now, and then chip in to fuel the organizing, the actions, and the public pressure campaigns that will make Amazon listen or grind its PR machine to a halt. We will not stop until workers win the safety and respect they are owed.
Sign now to support and stand with Amazon workers fighting for their lives.
Let’s keep fighting until every Amazon worker is safe, respected, and heard
