YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTwo Amazon workers died within hours of each other at the company’s Bessemer warehouse last month. One was denied sick leave before suffering a fatal stroke. Workers told Kim Kelly that 6 people have died at the facility this year and Amazon is trying to cover it up.
Amazon workers in Bessemer led a campaign to unionize their warehouse with RWDSU in the beginning of 2021. Workers voted down the union, after Amazon waged an aggressive union-busting campaign. The National Labor Relations Board found that Amazon illegally interfered in the union election and called for a re-run of the election.
