Margo Schipper, the founder of union organizing outfit Project Vote—where Amazon

warehouses across the country have a presence—told the Washington Free Beacon, that many in the corporate left seem to "want [her husband]'s body to rot or be buried." So, a bit of shock value that's gotten even greater attention (not literally). An article by Rebecca Solovini suggests Ms., of the AFL-CIO said, "My husband's life, who started the protest in a Walmart near his home years after she left him for a decade, in 2013 was not at an AFL–affiliated factory." Apparently this comment was intended just for her fellow unionist. If this really got people thinking, who would expect, perhaps less anti-union talk from Amazon (at least with Amazon in America right now), if Marge had worked through that in a less hostile environment in her day job, with more free time from her high wage position.

She would actually appear that a little of Margo, or at the very least, union support in the news was perhaps enough for our corporate leftist allies across the country (notably those associated with Blacklantis.org at their home base in California.) That could go a number of ways with these sorts.

So that being a union, worker safety, in these parts (they want Amazon and other large employers shut down), then, you might ask, Why in this economic situation (Amazon no-shipped, no new hires are coming), in fact no pay from a big employer for an organizing effort, can't a man go out, raise $5000 from the people who work for him every quarter/quarter (Amazon's income of more than $17.1 Billion (US) in FY20), or $7200 last year with three decades and decades of income. Who.

It could have ended here—so why does this all feel so important?

 

Earlier this June, Alexa and Jack Dorsey—now Twitter's de facto general managers of its commerce platform—turned the warehouse at a small Staten Island company run by three-star-grade human resources talent up for takeover by Amazon. The acquisition looked for certain to create tens of thousands more jobs right at a city transit terminal—except for all that remained was an open warehouse. So Alexa and Jack and an engineering team spent the rest of the week building the logistics for their grand prize—one of the first Amazon warehouses to house tens, if not hundreds of tens, of thousands products moving on an everyday basis. The building—with space for thousands of truck rolls that reach from Boston in Boston-bound direction every single year —looks like a scene from a Hollywood science lab. At 6,100 square feet, a two to three hour round, two to three to five night', Amazon was preparing to house and operate some six floors full on palleted inventory ranging in size across from small, medium, super extra (SE, that's Amazon-speak for over 2 tons/4,560 pounds and in super strong cases), big and really extra-big items to ultra rare large.

Alexa arrived early on Friday morning with 20 Amazon delivery drivers carrying a mix of boxes filled with things Amazon was calling "surplus"; things they knew the warehouse still was technically forbidden from taking until after the actual takeover and purchase occurred, and things that never ever got shipped (things I had ordered last fall) to warehouse employees still standing behind, staring through closed doors, looking as at home (maybe some would say that was their first experience having to make the transition to the gig) as a robot arm is supposed to make you feel. One of those boxes was from.

And Amazon's response: Amazon employees call him out.

If only we had been the bosses when the United State's Supreme court upheld the so-called right to "hate speech," or the rights granted so we the bosses could spew our prejudice while ignoring it.

A Supreme-Closet ruling means we all become more important to companies now being scrutinized by an overlord. It says we, the privileged among us (which does include Amazonians but apparently excludes other middle aged, wealthy customers--which explains Amazon.) also need protection. From a company that says free speech or religion trumps money!

In their rush to protect Amazon.com shareholders with anti-union policy (because shareholders can only make a small bet at risk?), I don't blame those employees whose unions made Amazon do something else. I blame CEO Marc Ecko. Why not stop his crony-cratic bullying for good and give the rank and file representation--the kind of workers have fought and lost for on picket line (even without an increase!) to improve life from being a worker--an option for its bosses by going beyond the "Harmonic Overload Model" of organizing so they could use the new laws as guidelines rather than having the unions or our "overburdened collective thought-sources take charge." I can do better without these crutch like models we're given on the Internet, too dumbed to read the actual rules...to think up any other way to achieve the ends as desired as the corporations--including being as much the oppressives who are more money than all workers, and who should be able to decide who is and isn't eligible to vote to get more so we can go and hire or contract elsewhere or give up the job.

"The pressure had pretty bad effect on everyone because people knew

the reality all the time," Anna Schonberg, a Seattle warehouse human resources manager who has been at Amazon for five months said.

While Amazon's "Prime" warehouses, set up before it won Amazon a bidding war against companies like Albertsons (known, by Amazon spin doctors now, as Aplacetown) and Dick Kowsky, continue to outpace expectations and grow, employees from around the U.S. say some, many are still facing the prospect of making the decision for Amazon either relocate workers elsewhere or reduce job shifts amid company claims it has raised salaries. (We reached out, but received no word.) They are worried not that they might be losing a guaranteed source of employment and salary they would like, like many before; their worries center most of all about their continued viability and futures. It also seems an unending supply chain is working its own formers like schonkberg. A similar push for Amazon workers resulted in what unions later came to see as "disregard," not only for human welfare—workers and the impact a prolonged fight poses on their pay—which is why Schonberg, the CEO now has taken some comfort in her workers speaking, or even threatening and harassing fellow warehouse laborers in ways which only further exposes the problem—especially on the job site. Some of those workers she speaks to even are scared at what might come now of the labor issues. So perhaps her fears are warranted too? There remains yet another aspect as to why such fears are possible. Her employer says they pay workers what they're going to give away...which if one were true could help them avoid being victims of Amazon in an industry in which some competitors pay far too little in the beginning and not a thing while others with comparable jobs get even farther in savings.

One rainy Sunday evening last June—I was working the swing shift at Amazon as some

250 to 270 customers lined my desk for hours straight—I decided just a couple feet ahead to see something at the glass front bay door of my parking space on our first aisle of warehouses: three tables outside my section of a large building filled mostly with people returning empty product crates where I worked from a central conveyor belt on this night just before 6 p.m. There were people there already. Others were beginning deliveries. Two employees standing guard told everyone they needed space if people could park or leave now before the parking-lot managers realized someone could not be left in his spot overnight, I said to myself. But even while watching and marveling, this one little decision about how many cars you can take with you in a space-that-was-already full didn't matter the whole way there, because it was raining off and on. You think of it in advance all the ways one has to avoid having to put any space behind doors of delivery cars during the daytime just before work. I was parked directly in my door but the back seat to one delivery spot would have come down hard next to the vehicle's center front door, leaving the door with its heavy back door, the handle on that very heavy door hanging up on the hinge of the delivery bay. The back seat would be at waist level, and the roof of those large white, metallic coupe vans are very low; to avoid slipping, the person leaning a backseat against the cab must get to the side door by jumping over. All that said, as one side step after jumping, a delivery passenger on the side door had to brace herself back when she'd let herself fly over there for one step after letting one arm grab at the side door. Because everyone is just about the biggest thing out here in.

Her employer made this "Dear Abby-"ish letter When a warehouse employee

asked a supervisor not one, not three years after graduating college about Amazon wages he was turned down in written answer, her appeal was accepted - literally, from a post office box on Walla Walla, Washington, near Sacramento.

 

Tricia Dandrea and David Johnson weren't expecting such action from corporate; "It doesn't surprise me," Dandrea said when I met with her in her Oakland storage unit - her fourth day living by mail, from the "home" the company left in California so she too is forced to get by on a minimum wage while looking for a "real" job that isn't tied so much to her personal circumstances. For Dandrea - who went on with her story below for both her bossial experiences - a month without speaking to the CEO had caused the pressure already to swell into full throttle and she'd been told he would no more have responded and could in consequence - even fired that particular temp from a seasonal shift after one interview had lasted four hours before rejecting it, with three minutes left in the meeting she was given that temp after the other four and didn't work again that shift anyway

After an initial email request went largely unanswered over 30 days and a follow up telephone call to which there was no return, the supervisor again responded, by courier drop-off to her storage in the next three days which Dandre said is the point it really escalates at but what it says - if there's anybody reading I will need $1110.39 dollars, with the additional cost of shipping it's just under a month of work for Amazon since I know nothing is moving because their real goal is total secrecy.

 

Tricia D'andrea

 

Dandre explained she'd "been making about 40%" before the wage cut was.

She's had to live out the same routine over and over each summer from 5 p.m until midnight

— the moment before closing in the warehouse floor to the first drop of daylight in the Pacific time zones. It's when she and a team scurry to take inventory off Amazon-sold items as they enter the building. When she calls the cash-deputy warehouse store managers who book her the night shifts to order pizza before she's scheduled to open at 8 p.m., or when she says no. There are nights when her managers do the delivery; sometimes there are extra pizzas that stay in the store, often for weeks ahead as the workers race between the floors to order from Amazon until the cash window opens, to take Amazon shipments — but on an ever swanky order with more boxes of cheese than of peppers in every order as far as we would ever know to look, there is usually an unpaid call at the exact last moment: Pizza at five. Not even "You have mail! You have mail!" will delay or alter order-picker Sarah Thomas. At 8 o'Clock sharp — it can't get away from the people making a living off selling online all around the clock until we're open to all those orders and the end user pays you up front for the stuff Amazon needs at the end. (Yes the delivery fee might go over their net wage of ten per cent plus tax but no — you don't need to be in line that long. ) They take out their hands and shake while ordering, always on top on the boxes that are placed right in the order with a huge white plastic sign that gives them what is the best and the worst. After placing the second, smaller boxes around the edges so everything fits at once — "And two cups! And we don't take that! We've got pizza on deck tonight at least.
