2. Wow, essentially DU doesn't care all that much about workers, Yikes

7. DU, or at least some DU, can't handle Sanders being a member of Biden's admin.

That's how utterly, um, I'll use the word "ridiculous," it is.

3. When I speak with Amazon workers in Alabama today, my message to Jeff Bezos will be pretty simple...

In 2020, Amazon made $14 billion in profits during the COVID pandemic, but decided to stop paying hazard pay to workers. During that same time, Jeff Bezos saw his wealth grow by around $70 billion.

One report found that Jeff Bezos's net worth had grown so much from March to September 2020 that he could have given every single Amazon employee a bonus of $105,000 and he'd still be as wealthy as he was before the pandemic. Outrageous.

When I speak with Amazon workers in Alabama today, my message to Jeff Bezos will be pretty simple. "Jeff, you're worth $182 billion. That's a lot of money. What is your problem with allowing workers in Alabama to organize for better wages and better working conditions?"

The time is long overdue for us to address the crisis of income and wealth inequality in our country, and strong, organized worker power is crucial in that fight. I am proud to stand in strong solidarity with Amazon workers in Alabama in their struggle to form a union.
