Part 2/9:

Workers at Amazon's JFK8 warehouse, the first in the nation to unionize, continue to voice their frustrations after almost three years of stagnation in negotiations. Workers are grappling with conditions that have not improved significantly, showing a troubling trend of declining workplace standards, particularly amidst the pandemic and its aftermath.

Connor Spence, president of the Amazon Labor Union, shared insights into the historical context behind the union's establishment; workers have voted for union representation but have experienced sustained pushback from the company. Amazon’s refusal to negotiate has led to the continuous struggle for better pay, working conditions, and employee benefits, prompting a national strike aimed at putting pressure on the corporation.
