An Amazon worker just died on the job. His co-workers were told, “Keep working.”

Last week, an Amazon worker in an Oregon warehouse died on the job.[1] 

According to a coworker who tried to assist with CPR, their supervisor prevented them, instructing:. “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work.” 

Management insisted that employees continue loading trucks even as their coworker’s body lay just feet away.

It sounds like a scene from a dystopian nightmare, but it’s the reality that Amazon workers face every day, and it has to stop. Organizing Amazon is the answer.

We are up against one of the richest corporations in the world, one who has already spent millions of dollars union-busting. But Amazon workers are coming together to fight back―and make sure no one ever dies for your 2-day shipping again. Help Amazon workers travel to this organizing meeting! Donate today!

Amazon workers from around the globe are coming together this June for what’s going to be a historic event. Hundreds of Amazon workers in one room, building a movement to organize one of the greediest, richest corporations in history–nothing like this has ever happened before. 

Amazon workers need our support to make this convening happen. Because of Amazon’s low wages, taking time off to travel thousands of miles is a major obstacle for most. Your donations will help cover food, lodging, and travel expenses for Amazon workers.

Organizing Amazon is a mission that must belong to all of us, because where Amazon goes, other industries follow. And the kind of disregard that Amazon has for the humanity of its own workers has no place in any workplace. 

What happened at Amazon last week is not an isolated incident. We’ve heard similar stories from Amazon workers, from fatalities at work to Amazon refusing to allow workers to call 911 during a medical emergency.

Workers’ lives are more important than two-day shipping, period. We must fight Amazon’s corporate greed, and the best way to do that right now is to get resources to the front lines, where workers are organizing. Can you help Amazon workers win against Amazon with a donation toward their travel costs?

Thank you for your support.

In Solidarity,
The Labor Force
