Young TikTok creators organize campaign against Amazon to support workers' union demands
"A group of TikTok creators said they refuse to work with Amazon until the demands of the Amazon Labor Union are met.
The union, which current and former employees formed independently in April 2021, has asked for a variety of changes, including: a $30-an-hour minimum wage, better working conditions and a halt to what it alleges are the company’s union-busting tactics.
The influencer campaign, which launched officially on Tuesday and is known as “People Over Prime,” consists of 70 TikTokers with a total of more than 51 million followers, according to its website.
The Washington Post first reported news of the campaign.
Gen Z for Change, a nonprofit activist group that helped organize the campaign, said in an online statement that the creators are “calling on Amazon to listen to their workers and make tangible changes to their workplace environment.”"
