In 2022, inspired by the success of the #AmazonLaborUnion and #StarbucksWorkersUnited, a handful of New Seasons workers came together in the backyard of a longtime activist, April St. John, and decided to form the #NewSeasonsLaborUnion. St. John has worked at New Seasons since 2005.

Amazon Labor Union Defends Immigrant Workers

from #WorldOutlook
March 12, 2025

"The following is a statement by the #AmazonLaborUnion – International Brotherhood of Teamsters (#ALU-IBT) Local 1 defending immigrant workers from government and employer attacks. The #ALU represents #Amazon workers at the company’s giant JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York.

The #ALU statement sets a good example of how the labor movement needs to treat immigrant workers: as fellow workers, as brothers and sisters.

This question has become urgent as the Trump administration has escalated raids, arrests, and deportations of immigrants under the guise of expelling “foreign criminals” from the United States. "

"The election to represent 4,300 workers at the 700,000 sq foot warehouse in the suburbs of Raleigh is scheduled to be held from 10 to 15 February."

"The union has been organizing since early 2022 at the warehouse, pushing for better pay, improved paid time off, better scheduling, improved accommodations for workers with injuries or disabilities, and respect on the job."

I've been thinking about cancelling my Amazon subscription for a while but hadn't yet done it because of the "convenience". It looks like this is what will finally tip the balance and force me to look for more local and ethical sources.

Of course they say it's unrelated to the recent unionization of one of the Québec warehouses but can we believe them?

Forcing Amazon to respect its workers
Something you can do

" As we reported earlier, Amazon workers at seven locations around the country organized a strike timed for the holidays to try to force Amazon to the bargaining table. These are workers who have already voted and decided to form a union, yet #Amazon is simply refusing to recognize them or meet with them. Public pressure and striking is the only route left for those workers.

The #union has organized a petition calling on Amazon to recognize the union and enter into contract negotiations."

Another brief video from Maspeth, Queens, where striking Amazon workers are picketing.

Wait for the surprise ending!

Some people I know sent me some pictures from their trip to Maspeth, Queens this morning.

Bearded man and older woman, both dressed for the cold, smiling into the camera, among many other people on the sidewalk around them, carrying signs proclaiming, e.g., "Amazon is Unfair/Injusto"

People marching along a city sidewalk in Queens, NY, in the dawn's early light, dressed warmly, carrying signs that read "Solidarity With Amazon Workers".

Long line of picketers marching along a sidewalk in Maspeth, Queens, carrying signs reading "TANNC Amazon ULP Strike" and "Amazon Obey the Law"

Early-morning picketers in Maspeth, Queens, marching on a city sidewalk past a sign that reads "Trucks Use Next Entrance", themselves carrying signs urging Amazon to "Obey the Law" and others reading "TANNC Amazon ULP Strike"

Some people I know visited Maspeth, Queens this morning to meet up with comrades (many of whom they had not yet met) and sent me some mementos of the occasion.

@GottaLaff Man, it's going to be tough to boycott #Amazon with Postmaster #DeJoy screwing the #USPS into the ground. We must NOT cross that #picketline people #AmazonLaborUnion #UnionStrong 💪👊

Amazon Labour Union-IBT Strike Fund for the NY warehouse is at $29,889/$50,000 right now - I chipped some money in, consider doing so too, to put them over 30k!
