A recent meeting of rank-and-file Amazon organizers and union leaders began planning for Black Friday actions.
Although Thanksgiving is a unique U.S. holiday, the day after — known as “Black Friday” — is celebrated in many countries as the opening of the Christmas shopping season. In Italy, for example, merchants offer Black Friday discounts that fill their stores with the same bargain-hungry shoppers as in the U.S.
Amazon spokespersons insisted that the strike was only 10 percent of the workforce because they love to undercount and because they factored in the 2,000 “Green Badge” employees — short-term and seasonal workers — who mostly came to work. Nevertheless, the company agreed to negotiate with the unions the following Monday.
The organizing successes at Amazon facilities — including winning a National Labor Relations Board vote at a Staten Island Fulfillment Center in April — andfrom Maryland to California reflects a new spirit of labor militancy in the U.S. Building on that opportunity, UNI Global recently convened a meeting of rank-and-file Amazon organizers and union leaders to begin planning for Black Friday actions in the U.S. We hope this will lead to high-profile walkouts and rallies targeting U.S.
