"If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon's insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it. These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they've pushed workers to the limit and now they're paying the price. This strike is on them."
"What we're doing is historic," said Leah Pensler, a warehouse worker at DCK6 in San Francisco. "We are fighting against a vicious union-busting campaign, and we are going to win."
Amazon is a huge, very rich, and very profitable company, on target to make $60 billion this year. The company's profit margin is more than 40 percent - astonishing in any retail operation, where margins are typically below 10 percent.
Some people on social media talked about boycotting Amazon, although the union hasn't called for that action.
