We are Amazonians who were injured/disabled on the job demanding justice #ExposeAmazon. Our stories at http://ExposeAmazon.org | Supported by @jwjnational
We tried to drop off a package to #Amazon's NYC office today with 50 stories from Amazon workers about injuries - and even a couple of deaths - that happened on the job. But they said, "they don't accept packages." 🤣 A 🧵 on our #ExposeAmazon action today.

💥Today, in its annual shareholder meeting, @Amazon execs will continue to tell shareholders there's no injury crisis at #Amazon. Watch this 2-minute recap from our Investor Risk Briefing and decide for yourself. It’s time for #AMZ's Board to meet with workers and investors.
1/5 🚨 NEW REPORT: Four years after promising to cut injuries in half, Amazon’s serious injury rate remains nearly DOUBLE that of non-Amazon warehouses.
Amazon promised to be “Earth’s Safest Place to Work”—but there's a safety crisis putting our lives at risk daily. Even Amazon’s own OSHA data proves it. These injuries aren’t inevitable; they’re caused by decisions that prioritize speed and profit over our safety.
New @TheSOC report shows worker injuries spiked 34% during Prime Day 2024 at Amazon. In 2024, Amazon reported 39,062 worker injuries—94% of them were serious injuries. 👉🏽 Read the full report: thesoc.org/resources/fail… #AmazonInjuryCrisis
We’re heartbroken over the loss of one of our coworkers. Our deepest condolences go out to their loved ones. This tragic loss of life was preventable, and we demand transparency to know what went wrong in the process so we can push for real solutions that prioritize our safety.
We demand @smartunionworks apprentice Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia be returned to his family. Bring him home now.
📢 Keisha, a 6+ yr Amazon worker & @warehouse_life member, lays down the truth about working in 105+ temperature inside the warehouse. “Can you imagine working at a facility that has no air? You become physically & mentally exhausted.” It’s time to pass heat protections NOW!
We're proud to have testified yesterday! No one should have to work in extreme heat without the right to water, breaks, and a place to cool down! NJ legislators who disagree have never worked in a blazing warehouse, kitchen, or truck—and it shows.
🚨BIG: The NJ Heat Standard bill passes the Assembly Labor Committee - an important step in protecting workers’ lives while working in extreme heat conditions! Let’s keep it going! @SenPresScutari @SpeakerCoughlin let’s move A5022/S3884 to a vote NOW!
While Trump's OSHA pick, David Keeling, ran “safety” at Amazon: ❌ 34,000 workers suffered serious injuries in 1 year ❌ 1 in 5 drivers got hurt ❌ Amazon’s serious injury rate was DOUBLE the industry’s Now he’ll be in charge of worker safety nationwide? Disgraceful.
BREAKING: Donald Trump has chosen his nominee to lead OSHA. It's David Keeling, the former UPS and Amazon safety executive.
Why do professional football players need a union? Same reason Amazon workers do. It’s about standing strong together to protect their health, rights, and families. Without the NFLPA, players would be like… well, Amazon workers without a union! Vote Union Yes 🗳️
"There is no strike" ☝🏽🤣🤣🤣 GTFOH!!!
Amazon can't stop lying because they know it's impossible to justify their exploitation. Amazon workers at facilities across the country are realizing their power and striking to win everything they deserve with the Teamsters.
Amazon called fdny on us cause we provide HEAT. But they union and we gucci lol
NEW: Warehouse worker injuries are on the rise in New York. The rate of injury equates to one injury per nine workers in 2023, a 30% increase in injuries year over year. @GovKathyHochul must sign the Warehouse Worker Injury Reduction Act into law now. cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/12…
In this difficult time, with corporate greed at an all time high, this #AmazonStrike is giving us hope. We stand in solidarity 2day & every day w/ our Amazon associate coworkers fighting for the pay & working conditions we need to support our families. See you on the picket line.
🚨 BREAKING: The Teamsters Union has launched the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. 🚨 Amazon has forced this strike by refusing to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters. Now, Amazon Teamsters at facilities…
.@k80way Katie Way’s article about the Teamsters’ ULP strike against Amazon for Hell Gate is excellent. But I particularly loved her detail about the political education workers are engaging in as part of their organizing work.hellgatenyc.com/amazon-teamste…
