“We put our bodies on the line for our job and we deserve pay that reflects that,” says Staten Island Amazon warehouse worker Madeline Wesley. “I feel really excited. We have a lot of support in the building.”
As organizers started to collect signatures to send to the NLRB, Amazon held a series of “training sessions” or “captive audience meetings” where corporate managers took aside small groups of employees and warned them against signing cards for the Amazon Labor Union.Cummings said she was also pulled into one of the sessions on December 5th, along with around ten of her coworkers in the JFK8 warehouse.
Attorneys working on behalf of the union effort have filed several dozen charges of labor law violations over Amazon’s behavior with the NLRB over several months,. Complaints reviewed by WNYC/Gothamist detailed allegations that management confiscated union literature, called union organizers “thugs,” fired organizers and prohibited them from talking to workers on public and private property.
Another spokesperson for Amazon declined repeated requests for additional comment on various allegations against the company.
