The following letter from the Amazon Labor Union – International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 1 was sent on September 4, 2024, to workers at JFK8, Amazon’s giant warehouse in Staten Island, New York. It is aimed at reaching out to all JFK8 workers and drawing them into a discussion on determining a course of action to overcome Amazon’s obstructionism and force the company to negotiate a contract.

    If only the public could show their support by just not using amazon for a month. Use any other evil app you like but losing subscribers and sales would be the only way they’d ever get the message.

    I want to get stuff conveniently delivered but these workers are people. The treatment you hear about warehouse staff and drivers is deplorable. People deserve the opportunity to enjoy their work, but more importantly workers deserve a living wage (and then some!).
