I honestly agree with this and think that everyone should complain about this, especially if you’re past your capped wages. Even more so when they make billions every year of the hard work of T1s. We just need everyone at all facilities complaining about the same issues to get things done. They always bring up their “benefits” but their benefits don’t work for everyone. Amazon extras is trash. The school is good, but they write that off on their expenses of operating costs… they more schooling they pay for the less taxes they pay…plus what good will a degree be if AI and robotics will take over unless you go to school for that ? Insurance is mediocre, but I’ve been paying that not really needing to use it.
What do you think? Do you think they are right?

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.

Why did they even tryto change the name?
