a Reddit repost
and one more day to prepare:
On June 23rd, 2026 Amazon workers all over will stage a walk out from work. If you have some extra UPT to spare you can help. Those in these criticial roles can help the most:
TOM Team
Dock workers
AFM or Problem Solve
ICQA, IBS, and CPT Chasers
Stowers, pickers, packers and inventory team members also make a big a impact.
We will use UPT to come in to work late or leave work early on the 23rd. Even the use of just 15 minutes can add up from all us and help.
During this time off from work we're going to the discussion going on these issues:
Getting a living wage at Amazon, with inflation, rent, groceries and gas so high we need to be talking about getting $30 an hour.
End the practice of labor rotation as it functions now, labor share needs to be volunterary and incentive based.
Increase our UPT to a 100 hour cap instead of 80. Having a small cap on UPT limits our emergency back up to keep our jobs. Having a really small cap of 80 punishes people who save time and discourages people from managing their time better.
Lastly; we need to address safety and security with all the incidents that are happening at our FCs. Amazon must do better with security entering the building not just leaving work.

Announcement: Huge WALK OUT staged for June 23rd
A big walk out on June 23rd, 2026. Use as much UPT you have to spare on this day and advocate for higher pay, better benefits like raising cap the cap for our UPT, better security and safety in our buildings and more work rights on this day. This is going to be for the American working class people. Especially if you are part of TOM Team, Dock Work, AFM, ICQA and Special CPT Chase, if you can use UPT on this day you'll have the impact but all stowers, pickers, packers can help contribute too.

Unionizing - Teamsters
Just a reminder guys.
​
The Teamsters want to help us negotiate and they have done it successfully now for:
​
UPS (their single-largest employer)
Costco
Coca-Cola
Pepsi
United Airlines
American Airlines
Air Canada
​
UPS just got another $1/hr pay raise for all their employees and $2.25/hr to come. We could negotiate for a pretty substantial raise if we joined their union and improve work conditions substantially. Probably even more than UPS Workers since they're already getting paid more.
​
We have plenty of collective bargaining power. So much so that we could effectively start a pretty substantial boycott of Amazon products and services.

Amazon and HR Changes
They might as well just change the name of HUMAN resources to Artificial Intelligence resources, and do it yourself.
I miss the days i would go to my employer for things like FMLA, and onsite HR would literally give you everything you needed, and answer your questions directly. Now, you just immediately get redirected to call the ERC so you can be switched to speak with DLS. That way they can have you speak with someone that acts like they know what they're talking about and actually doesn't...and gives you the wrong information.
Sad thing is, you cannot even hold them accountable because you will most likely never speak to the same person again.

If you live in California, this is how to get 2hrs paid voting time off for June 2nd 2026
Just call the ERC and tell them you are an Amazon associate in California and would like to request the 2 paid hours time off for voting. They will ask if you would like the 2hrs at the beginning or end of your shift.
It took me 3 minutes once connected to an ERC associate (from India). He had a whole script for it and processed it super quick. He even thanked me for doing my civic duty and exercising my right to vote. I recommend staying after the call to give them 5 star rating for their service.
You have to do this today or tomorrow June 1st at the latest.
Image is proof of my paid time off for voting immediately being coded on my AtoZ app after the
ERC call.
