ALBANY AMAZON WORKERS LAUNCH UNION CAMPAIGN

Amazon workers at a warehouse in Albany, N.Y., have launched a bid to unionize after another warehouse on Staten Island successfully unionized back in April.

 

The group announced this week they were organizing a union, saying in a Twitter post they would have a rally on July 17.

 

The union said they will be working with the independent Amazon Labor Union and “teaming up with our fellow coworkers in Staten Island.”

 

“Amazon has exploited us for far too long, and it’s time we become organized to demand better pay, better benefits, and better working conditions,” the union said.
