In this episode of Shut It Down, two Amazon Teamsters share stories of collective action that they took to prioritize safety over profit when emergencies struck at work.
Randy Korgan, host and Amazon Division Director for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, speaks with Arlene of JFK8 in New York and Shaq from KSBD in San Bernardino, California.
From raw sewage flooding a warehouse floor to wildfire ash and smoke filling a facility, these are stories about Amazon management repeatedly ignoring health risks to keep the volume moving. Arlene and Shaq describe the powerful moments when their co-workers came together to push management to do the right thing. When Teamsters fight, Teamsters win!
