Amazon Under Fire For Brutal Warehouse Conditions [View all]
Frontline Black and Brown people working at U.S. Amazon warehouses where COVID-19 cases hover around 20,000 claim owner Jeff Bezos’ abusive, anti-labor practices continue because desperate, powerless minority workers mostly are affected.
“It seems like the warehouses where we have high populations of minorities, there is a really big issue,” said Jessica Sanchez, a former Amazon worker in Denver. “Minorities have been fired for speaking out about their health and safety.”
Concern for and solidarity with Amazon warehouse workers is not limited to their families. In October, a coalition of Black-led organizations, including several labor unions and Black Lives Matter Brooklyn, marched to defund the police. The protesters made sure to stop outside Bezos’ $80 million Manhattan penthouse apartment to underscore how Amazon is “complicit in the wider oppression in our country.”
