A light blue raw crystal geode piece in the rough shape of a heart sparkles in the palm of a hand.

Light colored on a dark gray background reads: “I'm the president of the union at the Amazon warehouse just outside Raleigh, NC. Our union election is from February 10 to February 15th just outside Raleigh, NC.
If we win, we'll become the first unionized Amazon facility in the south.
Coming off the historic holiday strikes around the country and the first Whole Foods union victory since Amazon bought it, we have the momentum.
But Jeff Bezos doesn't want to let us win. His new buddy Donald Trump just illegally fired a member of the NLRB, which means the Board won't have a quorum to rule on lawbreaking during this election period.
And Amazon is taking advantage of the lack of oversight. They're installing new TVs all over the warehouse, which play anti-union propaganda on a loop. They're blacking out the windows so that you can't look at anything else on your breaks. And they've installed metal detectors in new, odd, places. It's downright Orwellian. We can't do our jobs to get people their packages without being distracted by a barrage of propaganda.
Amazon is also trying to use captive audience meetings (the kind that was ruled unlawful in November) to divide us by race. For example, they'll pick out a group of Hispanic workers and tell them that the Black union members just don't want to work as hard, and that's why they want a union. This union busting is disgusting.”
