NEW: Amazon workers are exposing what's happening in Alabama.
They say Amazon is forcing them into anti-union meetings, texting them up to 5x daily, putting messages in bathrooms, even changing traffic light patterns to harm union organizing.

These workers organizing for better job conditions, mostly Black, are in Bessemer, AL.
Median income is $31,610.
Amazon earned $125,560,000,000 last quarter alone.
Jeff Bezos is using that wealth to run a disinformation campaign to terrify his own workers.

These are screenshots of anti-union texts that Amazon sends workers daily.
They say unions are trying to 'take your money!'
'Don't let outsiders divide our winning team!'
Warehouse workers we spoke with say people feel confused, afraid, intimidated.

Amazon even targets workers in the bathroom. These are photos from the toilet stalls.
Anti-union signs are everywhere, said warehouse worker Darryl Richardson — the break rooms, the entrances & exits. "You got big banners saying, 'Early vote: Vote no.'"

.@RWDSU organizers believe Amazon even worked with local officials to change traffic lights patterns outside the warehouse, so they had less time to talk to workers during red lights.
After the change, they say, an accident totaled a car & almost hit pedestrians.

We contacted city and county officials about this and got no response.
