Our bosses — Amazon executives — have refused to come to the bargaining table with unionized workers, and so workers have courageously authorized the largest strike against Amazon in history.

Amazon warehouse workers and delivery drivers are the backbone of the Amazon marketplace machine — fulfilling millions of Amazon orders each day for the public and creating billions of dollars of profit for Amazon shareholders. Amazon’s corporate greed has created inhumane working conditions for these workers through a system of punishment and surveillance, where our colleagues are monitored, pushed to meet unsafe robot-level quotas and forced to pee in water bottles. As a result, some of our colleagues will have lifelong injuries.

Just last week, a Senate committee investigation revealed that Amazon intentionally manipulated workplace injury data — and that Amazon warehouses have twice the serious injury rate as other warehouses. It’s clear: Amazon warehouse workers urgently deserve a contract — their safety and well-being depends on it.

Every day, we organize against Amazon and Google’s joint $1.2B cloud computing contract called Project Nimbus that is powering the genocide in Gaza and enabling Israel’s apartheid state. The same technology that Amazon sells to Israel via Project Nimbus to surveil and kill Palestinians is the same suite of tech tools that they use to monitor, oppress, and inflict violence upon their own workers at warehouses on Turtle Island and beyond.

Our fights are deeply interconnected; our struggles for dignified lives and against oppressive structures are intertwined. We commit to uplift and support our coworkers at Amazon warehouses through this historic collective action and stand beside them against our bosses’ corporate greed.

We call on all Amazon tech workers to join us in materially supporting our coworkers at the warehouses courageously building a better world for us all.

If you’re in New York City, we’ll see you on the picket line in Staten Island.
