BREAKING: RWDSU is formally filing Objections and ULP charges against Amazon’s blatantly illegal conduct during the @BAmazonUnion election. We won’t rest until workers’ voices are heard fairly under the law--and when they are, we believe they will be victorious. #BAmazonUnion #1u
We won’t let Amazon’s lies, deception and illegal activities go unchallenged.

Amazon knew full well that unless they did everything they possibly could, even illegal activity, their workers would have continued supporting the union.
That’s why they required all their employees to attend lecture after lecture, filled with mistruths and lies, where workers had to listen to the company demand they oppose the union.
That’s why they flooded the internet, the airwaves and social media with ads spreading misinformation.

That’s why they brought in dozens of outsiders and union-busters to walk the floor of the warehouse.
That’s why they bombarded people with signs throughout the facility and with text messages and calls at home.

And that’s why they have been lying about union dues in a right to work state.
Worst yet, even though the NLRB definitively denied Amazon's request for a drop box on the warehouse property, Amazon felt it was above the law and worked with the postal service anyway to install one. They did this because it provided a clear ability to intimidate workers.
We demand a comprehensive investigation over Amazon's behavior in corrupting this election.

Working people deserve better than the way Amazon has conducted itself during this campaign.
This campaign has proven that the best way for working people to protect themselves and their families is to join together in a union.

However, Amazon’s behavior during the election cannot be ignored and our union will seek remedy to each and every improper action Amazon took.
"We won’t rest until workers' voices are heard fairly under the law. When they are, we believe they will be victorious in this historic and critical fight to unionize the first Amazon warehouse in the United States” -@sappelbaum We believe that we will win! #BAmazonUnion #1u
