Let's be clear: Amazon Labor Union and the smaller Amazon unions are not asking people to boycott Amazon―yet.
But Amazon customers―and especially Prime Members―are powerful voices in this fight, and we need to show Amazon's leadership that they're jeopardizing the company's future by clinging to their anti-worker policies.
A Senate committee investigation found that Amazon warehouses have a 30% higher injury rate than the industry average.
And one quarter of all Amazon workers are paid so little that they qualify for SNAP nutrition benefits.
A union is the best way to fight back―that's why Amazon workers in Staten Island overcame Amazon's union-busting 3 years ago to win a union election. But Amazon has refused to come to the table and begin bargaining a contract in all this time. Instead, they're asking the Supreme Court to declare a century of labor law unconstitutional.
