The year is nearing an end as we gear up for the new year. Contracts are expiring, and negotiations are beginning. We like to make it a point to keep all of our political leaders up to date. 2 weeks ago, it was the Mayor of San Diego, Todd Gloria; last week, it was the Mayor of Chula Vista, John McCann; this morning, Congress Woman Sara Jacobs. These figures make communal decisions directly affecting our members, their families, and livelihoods. As an organization, brother/sisterhood, we are entrusted to continue these meetings and ensure the Union has a seat at the table.

It's no secret that 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬. It wasn't until May of 2023 that Amazon Workers out of Palmdale, CA, decided that enough was enough and fought back. These 87 some odd workers have been pounding the pavement, conducting strikes, educating workers out of neighboring facilities, eventually expanding to different states and, more recently, countries. They fight fearlessly for the workers who are being intimidated by management and bullied by supervisors, all while pinching pennies to make ends meet because of the offensive pay rate.

The work being done is historic and threatens Corporate America's self-serving sustainability. The financial ability to compensate these individuals moving forward is a potential crossroads that threatens this movement. This is why it's our time to ensure we do our part in providing foundational support to ensure this movement continues to advance forward and threaten the existence of corporate greed.
