MUSIC: Brave - Sara Bareilles Other topics: 'Unions Are Lying, Cheating Rats': Leaked Video Reveals Amazon's Belligerent Anti-Worker Tactics As Amazon works to combat its public image as a starvation-wage employer by doling out mere pennies in pay hikes and deploying an army of workers to sing the company's praises on Twitter, a video leaked on Wednesday revealed that the trillion-dollar company is continuing to work feverishly behind the scenes to crush any attempts by workers to unionize and bargain collectively for better wages and working conditions. Here are a few of the (extensive) examples “that can indicate associate disengagement, vulnerability to organizing, or early organizing activity,” according to the video: Use of words like “living wage” and “steward” Distribution of petitions and fliers Associates raising concerns on behalf of their coworkers Wearing union t-shirts, hats, or jackets Workers “who normally aren’t connected to each other suddenly hanging out together” Workers showing an “unusual interest in policies, benefits, employee lists, or other company information” Increased negativity in the workplace “[A]ny other associate behavior that is out of character” CREDITS: Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike “The Man” Nasella
