[Take the pledge] We’re backing workers in Bessemer with all we’ve got

Andrew, Amazon did everything in their power to prevent workers from unionizing -- including interfering and intimidating workers from using their right to vote for a union by illegally installing mailboxes on the campus in Bessemer. And guess what? Evidence was found in a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) investigation of the election that Amazon specifically requested the postal service for that mailbox. As expected, Amazon took no blame for anything. After a thorough review of the entire election process, the NLRB's recommendation sided against Amazon. The final decision recommending another election as a result of Amazon's blatant interference could be released any day now. Andrew, we need to remind Amazon workers in Bessemer that they aren't alone, and that they've got people-power backing them across the entire country. Their historical fight is paving the way for workers everywhere -- and we're with them every step of the way. It's beyond time to advance and protect the rights of Black workers in the United States. Join us in working tirelessly to support our brothers and sisters in Bessemer, Alabama to solidify the first-ever Amazon warehouse union by adding your name to the pledge of support. ADD YOUR NAME This extraordinary effort to silence the voices of Black workers isn't anything new. For far too long, Black workers have been treated poorly and disproportionately discriminated against. It's exactly why we've been fighting so hard alongside our brothers and sisters in Bessemer in their historic efforts to establish the first-ever Amazon Warehouse Union. Forming this union in Bessemer isn't only significant due to its track of being the first-ever Amazon Warehouse Union. It's significant because this is people-power at work. The folks doing the groundwork in Bessemer? Black organizers. It's been Black organizers working tirelessly to establish this union for the majority Black staff that make up the Amazon Warehouse in Bessemer. This union has the potential to build solidarity among working-class people like we've never seen before. This could move us forward into a future where work is grounded in equity and justice. That's why we aren't backing down. We can't continue to allow Amazon to treat their workers with disrespect -- and we need to back all of the workers in Bessemer with all we've got. Join the movement continuing the fight for unionization in Bessemer, Alabama by adding your name to the pledge and reminding these workers that we're with them.
