We're fighting to make Amazon recognize our union, & as a result of our win, they’re in federal court arguing unions are unconstitutional.
If they win, a century of worker rights could be undone. Public support is vital to keep up the fight—can you help?

If we learned anything from the Knicks tonight, it’s this: never give up!
Even when you're David facing Goliath and the odds are stacked against you. Even when everyone says it can’t be done.
Keep fighting. Keep believing.

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust.
We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.
No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
ALT An AMNY headline with a photo of Mayor Mamdani reads: Mamdani administration says it recovered more than $9M in Amazon idling fines.

When Amazon pays poverty wages, it forces their workers to rely on social safety nets, putting more of a financial burden on taxpayers — all while Amazon profits.
We don't talk enough about how much taxpayers are forced to subsidize corporate profits.
May 20
Bezos: "We have way too much corporate welfare, way too much corporate subsidies. There's way too much influence in politics from business, in some cases, wealthy people who really focus on that, unions. There's a bunch of people interfering in the political process."
Amazon has received $15 billion in government subsidies since the year 2000 and paid 1.4% in federal taxes for 2025.

“There’s one thing more powerful than a billionaire – and it’s a union.”
Hours before the 2026 Met Gala, which was sponsored by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, union organisers put on a ‘Ball Without Billionaires’ in New York, featuring Amazon delivery drivers, warehouse workers and campaigners.
“Working people are underpaid, undervalued and under-appreciated,” said co-host Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. “Let those billionaires uptown have their Met party – we’re going to have something way more fabulous down here!”

We are so proud to participate in the Ball Without Billionaires.
And Teamster Amazon Drivers Latrice and Lamont DESTROYED ON THE RUNWAY.
LABOR IS ART!!!!
Billionaires like Jeff Bezos can try to control the system, but they will never replicate the creativity and resilience of workers. Ahead of the Met Gala, @SEIU, America’s unions and workers gathered in NYC for the Ball Without Billionaires to declare proudly that labor is art!

Our union was proud to attend A Ball Without Billionaires, a worker-led alternative to the Bezos-backed Met Gala that centered the people who make this world run. Shoutout to VP Arlene Kingston on the runway 🔥 We’ll keep fighting for justice at Amazon. Our movement grows daily!

On #MayDay, we joined hundreds of New Yorkers to march on Amazon, one of the biggest corporate threats to our communities and our democracy.
Amazon cannot build its empire on exploitation, surveillance, and displacement without resistance. The working class is fighting back.

May Day protests in NYC kicked off this morning with Amazon workers and community supporters picketing in front of Amazon’s JFK14 office in midtown Manhattan, demanding the company drop its contracts with ICE and CBP, and to pay its workers a living wage. 📷 Lisa Thomas/ALIGN

Amazon, it’s time to negotiate!
It’s been 4 years since JFK8 workers won our union. Four years of the voice we should’ve had over the conditions we work in every day.
We know our worth. We know what we’re owed. And we’re done waiting!

@amazon says one of its leadership principles is “have backbone, disagree and commit.”

For over 4 years since we won our union, we’ve made it clear: we disagree with the exploitative conditions inside these warehouses and we’re committed to organizing and fighting together for justice.

Yesterday, we walked into JFK8’s main office and put Senior Ops and HR on notice that we’re ready to take action to win our contract.
We’re not backing down. The question is, where’s *your* backbone, Amazon?

Amazon exploits workers, pollutes the environment, and powers ICE and surveillance.
NYC is paying the price. This May Day, we’re fighting back.

Exactly 5 years after launching our union at JFK8, ALU-IBT Local 1 is in DC urging House members to sign the discharge petition for the Faster Labor Contracts Act, a bill requiring employers to bargain within 10 days of workers winning their union.
Amazon, we’re coming for you.

Amazon prevents us from calling 911 when someone is having a medical emergency so that the company’s internal first-aid department “AmCare” can cover it up and it’s costing workers their lives.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers in the facility were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to The Western Edge.

So many of you in the comments are missing the point. This isn’t about what any of us would do in an emergency or if workers would follow the policy. The question is: WHY DOES THIS AMAZON POLICY EXIST AT ALL? Ask the bigger systemic questions!!
