Oregon's Amazon warehouse workers are following the example of unionizing employees in Bessemer, Alabama.

At a rally last Saturday in front of the Troutdale Amazon distribution center, protestors demanded the rehiring of Brian Denning, who was fired in December when he reported being assaulted in the workplace.

Organizing workers shared stories of workplace injuries, lapses in COVID safety, mandatory overtime, and other labor law violations.
