By Susan Lamont February 1, 2021 BESSEMER, Ala. “The company has been calling workers in for meetings, 20 at a time, all day, every day, to talk against the union,” Jerry Burns, who works at the Amazon fulfillment center here, often unloading trucks on the overnight shift, told the Militant. We spoke with Burns in his apartment Jan. 14 during a two-day visit here to learn more about the union-organizing drive at Amazon, which opened its Bessemer fulfillment center last March. Because of workers’ concern about company retaliation, the Militant is using pseudonyms. Kaitlin Estill and Ellen Brickley from Louisville, Kentucky, joined John Benson, Markie Wilson and Susan LaMont from Atlanta on the two-day team, going door to door here and in nearby Hueytown to meet Amazon workers. We also talked with other workers in the community to find out what they thought and to build solidarity with the organizing drive.
