Amazon is following in the footsteps of other major retailers here in the United States,
retailers like Target, and Walmart, and Lowe's and Home Depot, and they have put out their
own anti-union video for managers within their company, complete with lists of words that
these managers need to be on the lookout because these are indicative of union formations throughout
the company.
Part of this propaganda video has been leaked.
The quality is a little poor because it was filmed by someone at Amazon on their phone
while watching it on the computer, but this was the only way they could get it to the
public.
So, forgive the quality but here is a short clip from this anti-union Amazon video.
Asserted activity, such as an associate reporting to speak on behalf of his or her coworkers
in raising concerns, union graffiti, union tee-shirts, hats, jackets or other clothing,
union fliers and union visitors in or near the parking lot.
Some signs are less obvious than finding the actual union flier, but they can indicate
associate disengagement, which is itself a warning sign for potential organizing.
These are signs that must be monitored very closely and should be escalated to employee
relations.
Examples include, associates who normally aren't connected to each other suddenly hanging
out together, associates who are close suddenly stop speaking to each other, groups of associates
scatter when approached by management.
So, Jeff Bezos, Bezos whatever you ... however you say it, the CEO of Amazon is worth 155
billion dollars, making about 260 million dollars every single day, and that's not enough
for him.
That's not enough for Amazon.
They still wanna make sure that their workers do not attempt to unionize, that they don't
say phrases like, "living wage," because that's a major red flag.
Oh, god, living wages?
Get that person out of here.
The video also says that we're not anti-union, but we're certainly not neutral either.
No, you're anti-union.
When you're putting out and producing propaganda videos talking about the ills and evils of
unions, that makes you anti-union.
Here's the thing, and these are statistics that republicans and these anti-union corporations
don't want you to know about, unions typically raise the wages of workers, typically in the
past, by about 40%.
Surrounding businesses that aren't even affiliated with the unionized one, they also see their
wages go up too.
So, union formation does not just increase the wages of the one corporation that unionizes.
It increases the wages all over the community because other companies have to raise their
wages to compete, or else their employees are gonna go try to get a job over here.
Unions help everyone, not just the members, not just the ones paying dues and not just
the ones at the same company, and that's why we have seen such a fervent anti-union push
in this country for the last 40 years.
They wanna put an end to that.
They wanna put an end to the minimum wage all together and be able to pay us as little
as humanly possible, which is exactly what Amazon's doing.
They're paying their employees such low wages for working 10 to 12 hours a day, with no
breaks.
They're having to pee in water bottles.
Paying them so low of a wage that even with their full-time job they still have to rely
on government assistance.
And that's why Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna have introduced this legislation that would
force these multi-billion dollar companies, like Amazon, to have to pay the Federal Government
back when their employees are paid so little they have to get federal assistance.
It's not meant to shame the workers.
It's meant to shame these greedy CEOs like Jeff Bezos.
Because this man, worth 155 billion dollars, making 260 million dollars a day can't even
afford to pay his employees a living wage, or at least that's what he wants us to think
with this little anti-union video.
