HOW THE AMAZON WORKERS BEAT THE UNION BUSTERS
Given that any good a union can do for its members depends on them first organizing and voting in a union, it is vital for union supporters to stay up with the latest ways to win organizing campaigns. We have been collecting stories that include things the union and employees did to beat the management union busters. Up to now our favorite has been one that described how the organizers targeted each distinct racial group in the work force differently. For example a NY Times article noted that “to reach African immigrant workers, it brought in food from a local African caterer.” But our new favorite article is entitled, “How Amazon Workers Beat the Union Busters At Their Own Game.” We recommend it to anyone thinking of organizing a group of employees or even trying to revitalize one of those union locals where less than 10% of the employees pay dues.
