Even now, the bosses push our bodies to their breaking point, so they can profit off our hard work. After Amazon #STL8 worker Christine Manno developed carpal tunnel syndrome on the job, the company refused to accommodate her disability or grant her long-term benefits.

Amazon admitted to 1,032 injuries that week alone, a 35% increase from the previous week. The injury crisis is preventable, and if the execs won’t fix it, then we will. Here’s what #STL8 worker Wendy Taylor told @fortune.com:

A pro-worker and small business fair tax agenda is possible. Key element would include: — Raise the corporate tax rate, make it progressive, and close loopholes. — Tax corporations with excessive CEO pay. — Increase the new stock buybacks tax. — Use tax policies to support worker power and small businesses. — Lift the Social Security wage cap. — Tax income from wealth at least as high as income from work.
Together, across our races, backgrounds, and genders, our #STL8 and #SMO2 Organizing Committees are organizing to #MakeAmazonPay what they owe — both in taxes and workers’ wages — so that nothing stands in the way of all of us providing a great life for ourselves and our families.

“Amazon has a history of offering certain benefits and then stealing them away, which is why, in addition to organizing on the shop floor, we have to organize to change the law.”

Rebecca Pritchard stands in front of her front door and holds a paper that reads: “the real voices of Amazon.” The quote above her reads: “Amazon chose not to help me when I got hurt at work. That’s why I’m fighting for Amazon to own up to their responsibilities.” There is text on the bottom right that reads: “Rebecca Pritchard. Amazon STL8.” The Missouri Workers Center logo is in the bottom left corner.

The fourth slide has part of a picture on the right side and text on the left side that reads: “We the employees of Amazon — the stowers, the packers — have made the company worth over a trillion dollars. And we look out and care for our communities too. Without us, nothing moves.”
The fifth slide has a picture of Amazon workers standing outside of the STL8 warehouse. They are holding signs and large petition signatures demanding $25. The Amazon logo is visible on the warehouse. There is a white box with text that reads: “Together, across our races, backgrounds, and genders, our STL8 Organizing Committee is rejecting division and demanding Amazon pay us what they owe and treat us with the respect we’re worth.”
Workers don’t “appreciate” when management:
❌ Pushes workers’ bodies to their limits
❌ Misgenders workers
❌ Dehumanizes workers
That’s why #STL8 workers across all backgrounds are fighting back against corporate greed and mistreatment.

Valerie Sailor stands outside wearing a red shirt with a pin that reads “Prime Time for $25.” On the top right of the first slide is the Mound City Messenger logo. There is black text at the bottom that reads: “Workers Centers Help Employees Build Better Connections with Other Workers and Their Communities.”
On the second slide, the picture continues. There is text from the article that reads: “Whether we are Black or white, transgender or not, Missourians work hard and want the freedom to thrive — to be our full selves, to care for each other, and to leave things better for those to come. That’s why I began working at Amazon. I came to STL8 because my nephew said the benefits are great for the medical care I needed. But I quickly found that Amazon is not like other warehouse jobs.”
This #EmployeeAppreciationDay — and every day — if Amazon really wants to show workers some appreciation, “they should put it in our checks.”
Take it from Vallerie Sailor, Amazon worker and #STL8 Organizing Committee member:

To his left, there is white text that reads: “The Clean Slate Initiative would offer me and my coworkers mobility and access to better jobs, as opposed to feeling trapped in our current position.

Amazon STL8 worker Kayla stands in front of her coworkers as she speaks. There is a white background with text that reads: “Guaranteed paid sick leave would be better for everyone because it would mean I could stay home and take care of my kids when they’re sick, and I wouldn’t risk getting other people sick.” To the left of the picture, there is white text that reads: “Defend the raise and the days! Politicians need to respect the will of Missouri voters.”
Kayla, an Amazon #STL8 worker and Organizing Committee member, worked to pass #PropA so that #MOworkers wouldn't have to choose between their family’s well-being and their paychecks.

#STL8 Organizing Committee leader Ash Judd grew up hearing that unions were not the answer.
But after he developed hip and joint pain from repeatedly picking heavy packages and twisting his body, Ash said yes when a coworker asked him to join the OC in 2022.
