The battle to organize the biggest union busting company in the world Amazon continues. In San Francisco the workers voted to be represented by the Teamsters union but the company refused to recognize them.

The shutdown of the NLRB by the Trump government will also affect not only Amazon and other organizing projects but the fight of all workers fighting for a union.

Amazon is also planning a major Prologis terminal in San Francisco and Prologis is known as Amazon’s landlord. The billionaire San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and all the San Francisco Supervisors are supporting this new Amazon warehouse which will help techno fascist Bezos keep the workers unorganized despite the fact that they voted for the Teamsters to recognize them.

At the same time AI and Robotics are threatening millions of jobs not only at Amazon but unionized UPS which has also had tens of thousands of lay-offs. Autonomous vehicles and the twice vetoed legislative bill by California governor Newsom that would require a driver for trucks over 10,000 pounds raises questions about how to stop the dangerous and unregulated introduction of AI and robotics.

The attack on public workers at UC with union busting and privatization along with the use of AI are also a threat to all workers.

This will be addressed as well as the rise of fascism in the United States, the militarization of our cities, the trade war and the attacks on immigrants.
