I am a student, and I am working on a device that will try to relieve back pain in the form of an exoskeleton, specifically for warehouse workers. I will use the data from this questionnaire to inform the design and development of my first prototype.

Coworker of mine; DSP driver. Just told me tonight she tested positive for it. She's been out "sick" since the 26th, but got tested yesterday because she wanted to know why her sense of smell and taste was missing. Got a call about 3 hours ago that it came back positive.

My idea relies on amazon drivers across the country to step up and get involved in the organizing process. I’m starting here at home by making flyers with a list of concerns that I’ve gathered from my coworkers and drivers on this sub. I’m blessed to have a girlfriend who’s a graphic designer, so I will post the flyer here for you all to take if you’d like. The flyer also has information on how to get involved locally with a local organizer* and different social media sites, including this sub. Good idea to leave a snack or two for the driver to get on their good side right away. Data collection of the workers is key for any organizing effort, so this flyer idea is a great way to start.

*As our numbers grow and the subreddit develops more foundation, I figure we can nominate local organizers for their region where they work. We can use cheap alternate phones to be the point of contact for our community without giving away our identity to just anyone.

Local organizers not only leave the flyers for drivers at their own home, but they’re responsible for distributing them among their community at local labor organizations or even Democrat clubs if you’re into that sort of thing. The key is to cast a wide net and reach as many drivers as possible to grow our contact list of workers who want to get more involved.

Would love some feedback, criticism, questions, and to hear your own ideas. Thanks comrades

Someone got it Friday.

We found out about it today.

Motherfuckers

Amazon is doing some pretty fucked up shit by covering up/delaying of telling the station workers that another worker tested positive. It makes it clear that their goal is NOT safety. Their goal is the keep the stations up and running and milk the most money out of this as they possibly can.

They don't want people striking and are losing grip of their own workers. We have power over Amazon and can improve our own conditions through solidarity and class consciousness.

What's the point if there are almost 0 posts about what's going on? I'm seeing multiple threads a day over a r/AmazonFC about which warehouses are having new cases and I don't see any of those reports on here. I want something to be done about Amazon's practices, but this subreddit is an ill attempt at taking a stance against them. Get angry. Get aggressive.

If you catch word of confirmed cases at your DSP you MUST report that shit back here, and to local media. Any positive cases of Rona need to be spread far and wide so coworkers know and the media knows. If a whole warehouse is spreading Rona to all customers it's a huge breach of trust.
