Portland, Ore.
The majority Black workforce in Bessemer is challenging the world’s richest human, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, in their fight to be recognized by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). Bezos is so desperate to bust the union drive, he is illegally offering workers $2,000 to $3,000 “resignation bonuses.”
Speaking in East New York, part of Brooklyn, N.Y., outside an Amazon fulfillment center, Omowale Clay from the D12 Movement said: “A yes vote for the union will be a mighty blow against Amazon. A win in Bessemer will be a shot in the arm to organized labor, which will be heard around the world!”

The new footage shows just how massive this facility is, as it seems to dwarf the footprint of nearby Carencro neighborhoods. The opening of this new Amazon fulfillment center will truly make a massive impact on the local economy.
We originally reported about this new fulfillment center coming to the Lafayette area back in October of 2020. Since then, the construction crew off of I-49 has been hard at work putting this massive facility together. Commuters that have passed by the construction site off of the interstate have had day-by-day view of this construction since its groundbreaking.
