Headed back to Bessemer this weekend to try to raise support for the union among the community. Had a lot of really good stories from people, one was a dude who went to Michigan and worked at a factory organized by united auto workers and he was happy to put up signs and get his whole family to haha. Voting started a few weeks ago (its by mail) and ends March 31st I think. Hope it works out.

I was canvassing Bessemer nearly every other weekend with psl, the majority of the community supports a union but that doesn't mean it will happen. Lots of the younger workers at the Amazon warehouse were the ones who told me they were voting no. loving idiot s

apropos to nothing posted:its cause of some of the problems and weaknesses of the campaign, combined with misinfo from amazon. know comrades who talked to folks there who had already cast a no vote but who after a 10 min convo had changed their mind. we cant be dismissive of people for not coming to the correct conclusions immediately we gotta be patient and always willing to work to win people over. I mean I'm not dismissive of them when I'm canvassing, doubt any of them are reading this thread. My thoughts are that this is probably the best chance to start a union drive in major retail companies. Amazon will be better prepared next time.

We aren't affiliated with the union but we knocked on ninety percent of the doors in Bessemer over January and first half of Feb.

Tom Smykowski posted:It sounded like the RWDSU wasn't having the Amazon workers who were trying to unionize doing any actual door knocking. Not to minimize the good and hard work you did, but I think she raises a good point that the actual workers need to be doing the same thing, too. That was what I meant by partially true lol. I agree

Wow that contract offered the pension staying as well as a pretty sizeable raise iirc. They're really going for broke
