ABOUT THE MEETING:

Sen. Nan Orrock (D-Atlanta) and Rep. Kim Schofield (D-Atlanta) will be speaking at the event and addressing the concerns raised regarding Amazon's treatment of employees. The Amazon ATL6 facility has faced allegations of Unfair Labor Practices, such as harassment, threats and intimidation of workers, which some believe may be aimed at discouraging organizing efforts. This summer, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) filed complaints against Amazon, alleging instances of worker interrogation, surveillance, and retaliation related to their collective activities. Additionally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has conducted multiple inspections of the ATL6 facility due to health and safety concerns.

MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES:

We kindly request that members of the media confirm their attendance in advance by contacting Jantz Womack at [email protected].
