The Teamsters are spinning off momentum from recent organizing fights to new battle fronts across Amazon’s logistics chain. A group of 100 warehouse workers at DCK6, an Amazon delivery station in San Francisco, marched on company managers October 2 demanding voluntary recognition rather than filing for a National Labor Relations Board-supervised election.

    Quitting Amazon was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I started seeing my life as a single, one chance experience without the plague of needing to constantly surround myself with ever changing gadgets.

    Quitting Amazon alone didn’t do that for me, but it was a good start.

    It is my firm belief that every non-executive position in this country should be unionized.

    You have a large corporation with 20,000 employees? They should be unionized.
    You have a small business with two employees? They should be unionized.
