They want to be the boss, but not the employer. If we let Amazon and other corporations propagate this model, we are going to seriously undermine the right of workers to organize, fight for better, and hold these companies accountable.
This is the fight of the working class.
I’m so proud of my brothers and sisters who have fought this long and hard to get where we are. The fight is far from over, but we’ve built an incredible movement and unstoppable worker power across the country.
We will keep fighting and we will win. Let’s keep making history!!

Amazon is trying to reinstate pre-COVID cellphone restrictions but they can’t erase the past. In 2021, workers at an Amazon warehouse in Illinois died when they couldn’t get alerts, call 911, or reach loved ones. Cellphones save lives. We won’t let Amazon take them away.
Our union doesn’t endorse candidates per our bylaws, but officers can.
As President of ALU-IBT Local 1, it’s my honor to endorse @ZohranKMamdani to be our next mayor!
Zohran is a friend and an incredible ally to our movement. Let’s keep fighting for working people!!
First time at DSA convention, I’m proud to endorse Alex Pellitteri for DSA co-chair and proud to be fighting with him to bring more Amazon workers into our movement!!

Sewage = massive biohazard risk to thousands of workers = SHUT THAT SH** DOWN!!!
Breaking!! When Amazon ignores our health and safety, WE PROTECT OURSELVES! @amazonlabor took action, marched on the boss, and forced Amazon to send everyone home with pay when there was a dangerous sewage leak in the warehouse. Join the movement to change this company so workers always come before profits! #1u #MakeAmazonDeliever
Join us!

Raw sewage backed up into work areas at JFK8--not the first time, too. This, combined with the heat, made it unbearable to work in the stench and is absolutely unsafe. Amazon needs to start acting quickly to send workers home in these conditions. @amazonlabor @amazonteamsters

Trader Joe’s unlawfully terminated our union sibling Jamie Edwards, whose organizing contributions were instrumental in unionizing the first TJ’s store in the U.S.

Time and time again, we have to make these posts. Amazon could have worked with us years ago to fix this. People who are gone now could still be here.
It's exhausting, but it's a reminder. We can't afford to stop fighting. No matter how long, how tiring, we absolutely must win.
These last few days have been some of the most amazing of my life. Out on strike, standing side by side in the blistering cold with my brothers and sisters as we fight for a better world.
Amazon is coming to the table whether they like it or not. Our movement is unstoppable!
When the captive audiences and consultants don't work, they weaponize the police against us. WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!!

The @NLRB has denied @Amazon’s appeals to our 2022 union certification election. Amazon has ignored its legal obligation to bargain with the workers of JFK8 but we’re done waiting! They continue to abuse us but we’re ready to fight back.
Here’s a thread to catch you up🧵
