Amazon workers in Kentucky are fighting to unionize!

From their website:

"We're Amazon workers that want to form a union at the KCVG Air Hub. We're fighting for a $30 starting wage, 180 hours of PTO, union representation at disciplinary meetings and more. Hundreds of us came together to demand Peak Pay. Management refused and that's why we need a union that can win lasting change."

To find out how YOU can support these workers, please visit their website here:

We are at the very beginning of a working-class upsurge. The labor movement will come to some of the smallest towns just like the Black Lives Matter movement did.

Secret Amazon Reports Expose the Company’s Surveillance of Labor and Environmental Groups

“Updates on labor organizing activities at warehouses include the exact date, time, location, the source who reported the action, the number of participants at an event (and in some cases a turnout rate of those expected to participate in a labor action), and a description of what happened, such as a ‘strike’ or ‘the distribution of leaflets.’ Other documents reveal that Amazon intelligence analysts keep close tabs on how many warehouse workers attend union meetings; specific worker dissatisfactions with warehouse conditions, such as excessive workloads; and cases of warehouse-worker theft ...

“The new intelligence reports obtained by Motherboard reveal in detail how Amazon uses social media to track environmental activism and social movements in Europe—including Greenpeace and Fridays For Future, environmental activist Greta Thunberg's global climate strike movement—and perceives such groups as a threat to its operations. In 2019, Amazon monitored the Yellow Vests movement, also known as the gilet jaunes, a grassroots uprising for economic justice that spread across France—and solidarity movements in Vienna and protests against state repression in Iran ...

“‘It’s not enough for Amazon to abuse its dominant market power and face antitrust charges by the EU; now they are exporting 19th century American union-busting tactics to Europe,’ Christy Hoffman, general secretary of UNI Global Union, a global federation of trade unions that represents more than 20 million workers, told Motherboard. ‘This is a company that is ignoring the law, spying on workers, and using every page of the U.S. union-busting playbook to silence workers' voices’ ...

“‘Amazon's systemic use of military surveillance methods against unionists and activists is deeply alarming,’ said Aubry, who is also a senior member of France's France Insoumise, France's main radical left party. ‘Amazon and Jeff Bezos act as if they were above the law because they have accumulated unprecedented levels of wealth and power. This has to stop.’”

I dont think we utilize the fact that Jeff Bezos last name is so close to Bozo enough when we're making fun of him

Idk what’s going on today/tonight I’m just going to blame the last full moon of the year and Mercedes playing in the microwave. But this Amazon driver must have been going thru it.

Those packages were for units in different buildings but I’m taking them to the front office in the morning. If you’re in the Austin area maybe do in store pick up this year.

Every worker should be able to join a union. Yes, that includes Amazon workers.

The Price of Amazon’s ‘Prime’ Business Model Is Our Bodies

The billion-dollar company profits off pushing workers like me to our physical limits — only to ignore us when we’re hurt on the job

Workers at Amazon’s largest air hub in the world allege Amazon is retaliating against them as they try to organize their first union. The workers at the 882-acre KCVG air hub in Hebron, Kentucky, have been organizing “March on the Boss” actions at the Amazon facility in which staff confront managers en masse to “demand an end to union busting”, which they claim includes write-ups and other disciplinary actions against workers. Workers at the facility are calling for a starting pay of $30 an hour, free on-site childcare, double pay for flex (overtime), professional translation and union representation. More than 4,000 workers are employed at the Amazon KCVG air hub. Workers involved in organizing the union drive claim they were targeted after collecting union authorization cards to file with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

By Struggle-La Lucha Baltimore bureau

A rush-hour protest in downtown Baltimore Dec. 8 showed support for railroad workers under attack. The newly formed Ad Hoc Committee To Support Railroad Workers called the action. Sharon Black, a local Amazon warehouse worker who came straight from work, proclaimed, “We need a union at our warehouse, and I am here today to show support for the railroad workers.”

Why the battle to unionise Amazon matters

“Today, after sixteen days of strike action, the GMB union has over 700 members at Amazon’s Coventry site and is on the brink of historic union recognition. More than half the workforce are now members of the union — above the 50 percent threshold required for recognition. GMB has started the statutory process for recognition through the Central Arbitration Committee, paving the way for collective bargaining over pay, terms and conditions.

“The ground-breaking campaign, however, is not ending there. Further strikes have been called in Coventry for mid-June, while Amazon workers in Rugeley and Mansfield are being balloted on strike action for the first time.

“The significance of this organising effort should not be understated. By making inroads into one of the world’s most notorious anti-union companies, workers are showing that it is possible to expand union power even in the most hostile of environments ...

“80 percent of workers at the warehouse are migrants and the workforce is incredibly diverse, with workers from Eritrea, Pakistan, Romania, Poland, and Nigeria, to name a few. One of the most positive changes Darren has noticed is the way workers from different backgrounds have become good friends through organising together. ‘Before, the Romanians would tend to stick to themselves and the Eritreans would have their own little group. You’d see canteen tables by nationality. Now, you see workers from different backgrounds shaking hands, having a laugh and having a coffee together. You see it even more on the picket lines.’”

so, if you haven’t heard about it I will bring it to your attention! TAMAZILLA (an Amazon fulfillment center virtual pet game.)

Yup you heard the title right! That’s an actual thing!

So here is the tumblr post to explain it!

youtube

Pictured above is a small gameplay sample of a brown panda, things to note is that after reaching level 3 (I think) they are at their highest level. the gameplay loop is dictated by how well you do your job at Amazon, though through my research there seems to be only 2 types of jobs that have the screen needed to play the “FC Games” (FC meaning fulfillment center) so if your like a driver or if you do other stuff like that you don’t have access to the virtual pets and or the FC Games period.

This seems to be accurate information going off of what I know

https://warehouse.ninja/amazon-peak-a-comprehensive-guide-for-new-associates/ The link

Here’s another picture that’s of higher quality of the selection screen(???)

THE LINK https://www.reddit.com/r/FASCAmazon/comments/l6olxn/fc_games_out_of_curiosity_what_kind_of_pets_do/

From my knowledge there is 6-7 games that are playable on the screen pictured above! But tamazilla is the cooler one on my eyes, (the fishing one looks awesome too)

And one more video!

https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonFC/comments/120fpah/look_at_my_boi_all_grown_up/

But that’s all I got, there’s not really much out there on this game lol, but here’s a small bit of it!

It started in 2019? Or 2021 it’s conflicting, but there you have it! Tamazilla
