Milwaukee Solidarity Picket For Alabama Amazon Workers!
A diverse group of Milwaukee area and statewide labor and community organizations will hold a solidarity picket to support Amazon workers Saturday, March 20, 2021 at 10 A.M. at 2305 N Prospect Avenue, Milwaukee (Whole Foods). Masks are mandatory and social distancing will be practiced.
On Feb 8, 2021 approximately 6,000 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama began voting by mail on whether to be represented by the Retail, Wholesale Department Store Workers Union (RWDSU). The voting period ends on March 29. The harsh working conditions at Amazon warehouses, along with Amazon’s refusal to adopt measures that protect workers from COVID 19, have pushed Amazon and Whole Foods workers everywhere to step up organizing to fight back.
